FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN NEW YORK...SOUTHERN
VERMONT...WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
245 AM EDT FRI MAY 1 2026
DISCUSSION
NO FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS THROUGH SATURDAY. TODAY, MINIMUM RH VALUES
EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 30-40%, WITH WESTERLY WIND GUSTS ONLY REACHING
15 MPH IN MOST AREAS. SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT INTO EARLY
SATURDAY. ON SATURDAY, PEAK WIND GUSTS WILL ONLY BE 10-15 MPH, WITH
MINIMUM RH VALUES GENERALLY 35-45%.
SUNDAY AND MONDAY ARE BOTH EXPECTED TO BE BREEZY WITH WIND GUSTS 20-
30 MPH. MINIMUM RH VALUES SUNDAY LOOK TO DROP TO 30-35% FOR MANY
AREAS, SO SUNDAY MAY FEATURE AN ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD IF
FUELS DRY OUT ENOUGH FROM THE RECENT RAIN BY THEN. FOR MONDAY,
FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS LOWER, BUT RAIN CHANCES CONTINUE TO TREND
LOWER AT ONLY 20-40%. SHOULD DRIER CONDITIONS PREVAIL, THE
COMBINATION OF BREEZY S/SW WINDS AND RH POTENTIALLY AS LOW AS 35-45%
COULD LEAD TO ANOTHER DAY WITH FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS. MORE
WIDESPREAD RAIN BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK SHOULD LIMIT FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS BEYOND MONDAY.
