NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
233 AM EDT SUN MAR 29 2026
DISCUSSION
* SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT IN EFFECT FOR LITCHFIELD AND
BERKSHIRE COUNTIES TODAY DUE TO AN ELEVATED RISK OF FIRE
SPREAD...
TODAY, RH VALUES DROP TO AS LOW AS 25-35% OUTSIDE OF THE ADKS,
WITH THE LOWEST RH VALUES FOR VALLEY AREAS. S/SW WINDS ALSO
INCREASE THROUGH THE MORNING, WITH GUSTS REACHING 20-25 MPH THIS
AFTERNOON, STRONGEST ACROSS THE CAPITAL DISTRICT, TACONICS, AND
SOUTHWESTERN NEW ENGLAND. SOUTHWESTERN NEW ENGLAND IN PARTICULAR
HAD LESS RAINFALL OVER THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS COMPARED TO THE
REST OF THE REGION, SO IN COORDINATION WITH WFO BOX AND MA/CT
STATE PARTNERS, AN SPS HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR BERKSHIRE AND
LITCHFIELD COUNTY TODAY TO HIGHLIGHT THE ELEVATED RISK OF FIRE
SPREAD. MOST OF OUR NY ZONES SAW A WIDESPREAD WETTING RAIN
THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. WITH SLIGHTLY WEAKER WINDS FOR
MOST OF OUR NY ZONES AS WELL, THE RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD IS LOWER
THERE. NEVERTHELESS, LOCALIZED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS CAN'T BE
RULED OUT ACROSS EASTERN ULSTER AND DUTCHESS COUNTIES SINCE
THOSE AREAS RECEIVED LESS RAIN THURSDAY NIGHT COMPARED TO THE
REST OF THE REGION. WIND GUSTS SUBSIDE TO LESS THAN 10 MPH
TONIGHT AFTER SUNSET, WITH RH VALUES RECOVERING TO 65-85%
TONIGHT.
TOMORROW, MINIMUM RH VALUES WILL GENERALLY BE AT OR ABOVE 40%,
ALTHOUGH S/SW WIND GUSTS OF 20-25 MPH ARE AGAIN EXPECTED IN THE
AFTERNOON. MUCH HIGHER RH VALUES EXPECTED TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY
WITH WIDESPREAD SHOWERS/PERIODS OF RAIN ACROSS THE REGION MONDAY
NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY, WITH MORE PRECIP POSSIBLE TO END THE
WEEK.
