FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN NEW YORK...SOUTHERN
VERMONT...WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
256 PM EDT MON APR 27 2026
DISCUSSION
THIS AFTERNOON, MINIMUM RH VALUES WILL RANGE FROM 20-30% BUT WINDS
SHOULD REMAIN LIGHT. RH RECOVERS TO 70-90% TONIGHT. TOMORROW,
TEMPERATURES WILL BE SIMILAR TO TODAY. RH VALUES IN THE AFTERNOON
ARE EXPECTED TO DROP TO 25-35% REGION WIDE. S/SE WINDS INCREASE
TO AROUND 10-15 MPH BY MID-MORNING WITH GUSTS OF 20-25 MPH NEAR
AND NORTH OF I-90, AND TO 15-20 MPH SOUTH OF I-90, EXCEPT IN THE
CATSKILLS WHERE 20-25 MPH GUSTS ARE EXPECTED. STATE PARTNERS HAVE
CONFIRMED DRY TO VERY DRY FINE FUELS ACROSS THE REGION, ESPECIALLY
FOR NORTHERN AND NORTHEASTERN AREAS. GIVEN THE ABOVE, AN SPS HAS
BEEN ISSUED FOR THE SOUTHERN ADKS, UPPER HUDSON VALLEY, PORTIONS
OF THE CAPITAL DISTRICT, CATSKILLS, AND SOUTHERN VT. THERE WAS
SOME CONSIDERATION TO PUT THE SOUTHERN ADKS IN A FIRE WEATHER
WATCH, BUT CONFIDENCE WASN'T QUITE HIGH ENOUGH GIVEN THAT WINDS
MAY ACTUALLY START TO DROP OFF THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WHEN THE
LOWEST RH VALUES WILL OCCUR. MOISTURE SHOULD ALSO BEGIN TO
INCREASE THERE BY LATE AFTERNOON WITH A WEAKENING DISTURBANCE
POTENTIALLY BRINGING A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS AFTER 4-5 PM.
RH VALUES RECOVER TO 60-80% TUESDAY NIGHT WITH WIND GUSTS DROPPING
OFF AFTER SUNSET. WEDNESDAY LOOKS TO BE BREEZY AGAIN, BUT RH
VALUES ARE ONLY EXPECTED TO DROP TO AROUND 40% IN THE AFTERNOON.
WIDESPREAD WETTING RAIN THEN EXPECTED WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY.
