FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN NEW YORK...SOUTHERN
VERMONT...WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
217 AM EDT SAT MAR 28 2026
DISCUSSION
WINDS BECOME GUSTY TODAY AT 20-25 MPH FOR MOST OF
THE REGION, EXCEPT 25-30 MPH FOR THE MOHAWK VALLEY, CAPITAL
DISTRICT, AND BERKSHIRES. RH VALUES LOOK TO DROP TO AROUND 30-35%
FROM THE HUDSON VALLEY EASTWARDS, (LOWEST RH VALUES EXPECTED FOR
VALLEY AREAS). WHILE MOST AREAS SAW WIDESPREAD HALF INCH OR MORE
OF RAIN A COUPLE DAYS AGO, THE MID HUDSON VALLEY AND WESTERN CT
SAW LOWER AMOUNTS AROUND A TENTH OF AN INCH, SO LOCALIZED FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS CAN'T BE RULED OUT IN THESE AREAS TODAY.
FORTUNATELY, WITH WINDS REMAINING LIGHTER IN THESE AREAS COMPARED
TO FURTHER NORTH, THERE DOES NOT LOOK TO BE A SIGNIFICANT OVERLAP
OF WINDS WITH THE LOW RH AND DRIER FUELS. TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL
ALSO BE ON COLDER SIDE, WITH EVEN VALLEY AREAS STAYING MAINLY IN
THE 30S.
TOMORROW WILL FEATURE RH VALUES DROPPING AS LOW AS 25-35% OUTSIDE
OF THE ADKS, WITH THE LOWEST RH AGAIN IN THE VALLEYS. WIND GUSTS
WILL BE AROUND 15-20 MPH, STRONGEST FROM THE HUDSON VALLEY
EASTWARDS. LOCALIZED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS THEREFORE CAN'T BE
RULED OUT ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN NEW ENGLAND OR PERHAPS THE MID
HUDSON VALLEY, BUT OTHERWISE WINDS DON'T LOOK STRONG ENOUGH FOR
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS.
NO FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK, WITH RH
VALUES MONDAY AT OR ABOVE 45% REGION-WIDE AND WIDESPREAD PERIODS
OF RAIN EXPECTED MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
