FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN NEW YORK...SOUTHERN
VERMONT...WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
402 AM EDT Wed May 29 2024

.DISCUSSION...
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 35 to 40%. North to northwest winds of 10 to 15
mph with gusts as high as 20 mph in the afternoon may further
support an enhanced risk for fire spread. However, winds and
humidity aside, widespread recent rainfall of 0.5 to 1 inch and
locally higher amounts of 2 to 3 inches in higher terrain, in
addition to increasingly green fuels, may act to inhibit said
risk. Therefore, with marginally supportive weather conditions
for fire spread and considering antecedent rainfall, no
statements for fire weather are currently anticipated.
