NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
215 PM EDT SAT MAY 2 2026
DISCUSSION
AFTER A CHILLY START WITH AREAS OF FROST AND PATCHY FOG, CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME BREEZY AND DRY SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH NORTHWEST
WINDS GUSTING UP TO 25 TO 35 MPH, STRONGEST WITHIN THE HUDSON RIVER
VALLEY FROM ALBANY SOUTHWARD. IN ADDITION, RH VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO
DROP INTO THE 25 TO 35 PERCENT RANGE IN VALLEY AREAS. THIS WILL
CREATE AN ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD WITHIN MUCH OF THE HUDSON RIVER
VALLEY, TACONICS, EASTERN CATSKILLS, AND TACONICS SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
WARM AND BREEZY CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN AN ELEVATED RISK OF FIRE
SPREAD AGAIN MONDAY AFTERNOON, HOWEVER RH VALUES MAY BE A BIT HIGHER
THAN SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
MULTIPLE CHANCES FOR WIDESPREAD WETTING RAINFALL OCCUR FOR THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
