FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN NEW YORK...SOUTHERN
VERMONT...WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
402 AM EDT Thu May 30 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Today, 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 60s to low 70s will lead to minimum RH
values around 30 to 40 percent. Northerly winds of 5 to 10 knots
will gust to around 15 knots. Widespread rainfall of at least a
half inch earlier this week, with many observations of one to
three inches in areas of higher terrain, will be supplemented by
an additional soaking rainfall south and east of Albany early
this morning, acting to limit the risk of fire spread.
Therefore, Special Weather Statements for enhanced fire spread
are not being considered.

Friday may again feature marginal conditions for fire spread,
with minimum RH values of 30 to 40 percent and northwesterly
wind gusts of 15 t0 20 knots, however the recent rainfall will
again limit fire weather concerns.
