FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN NEW YORK...SOUTHERN
VERMONT...WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
220 PM EDT SUN MAR 29 2026
DISCUSSION
MOST AREAS HAVE LOST THEIR SNOW PACK, ALTHOUGH PARTS OF THE
WESTERN AND CENTRAL ADIRONDACKS AND THE HIGHEST PEAKS OF THE
SOUTHERN GREENS CONTINUE TO HAVE SOME SNOW ON THE GROUND. MUCH OF
THE REGION SAW A WIDESPREAD WETTING RAINFALL ON THURSDAY, MARCH
26TH, ALTHOUGH SOUTHEASTERN AREAS SAW THE LOWEST AMOUNTS OF
RAINFALL.
OUR REGION IS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF WEST-NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT
WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE LOCATED SOUTHEAST OF THE REGION.
THERE CONTIUES TO BE ENOUGH OF A PRESSURE GRADIENT FOR SOUTH TO
SOUTHWEST WINDS TODAY, WITH SOME GUSTS IN THE 20 TO 25 MPH RANGE
THROUGH THIS EVENING. WITH DECENT MIXING OCCURRING AND A DRY AIR
MASS IN PLACE AT LOW LEVELS, RH VALUES WILL BE AS LOW AS 25 TO
35 PERCENT THIS AFTERNOON. THE COMBINATION OF BREEZY CONDITIONS
AND DRY CONDITIONS COULD RESULT IN AN ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE
SPREAD FOR PARTS OF WESTERN NEW ENGLAND THROUGH THE EVENING
HOURS, WHERE A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT.
RH VALUES SHOULD RECOVER FOR TONIGHT, WITH WINDS DECREASING AS
WELL.
MAINLY DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED ON MONDAY, BUT THERE WILL BE
INCREASING MOISTURE AHEAD OF THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM. RH VALUES
WILL GENERALLY BE ABOVE 50 PERCENT, ALTHOUGH SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS WILL BE GUSTING UP TO 25 MPH AT TIMES. A FEW SHOWERS ARE
POSSIBLE FOR LATE IN THE DAY FOR WESTERN AREAS, ALTHOUGH THERE
WILL BE A BETTER CHANCE FOR A WIDESPREAD WETTING RAINFALL FROM
MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THIS SHOULD TEMPORARILY END ANY
ISOLATED THREAT FOR ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS, BUT THE
POTENTIAL WILL RETURN ONCE ANY RAIN THREAT ENDS UNTIL GREENUP
OCCURS.
