.DISCUSSION...
For Thursday, a dry airmass and deep mixing will
result in surface dewpoints falling to the mid 30s to mid 40s across
the region, while temperatures in the mid 60s to mid 70s will lead
to minimum RH values around 30 to 40%. Wind gusts now look to max
out around 15 kt. Furthermore, most areas saw at least a quarter to
half inch of rain earlier this week. In portions of the Mid Hudson
Valley where rainfall amounts were lower earlier this week
(northeast Ulster, northwest Dutchess, southwest Columbia Counties),
additional rainfall amounts tonight of around a quarter inch should
mitigate fire weather concerns. Therefore, special weather statements
for enhanced fire weather spread are not currently being considered.
Friday will also feature RH values of 30-40% and wind gusts
potentially of 15-20 mph. However, the appreciable rainfall of the
previous several days should once again limit fire weather concerns.
