...Fire Weather Concerns Exist Across Vermont and northern New
York Today...

Fine fuels, such as grass and leaf litter, remain very dry across
the region. Low relative humidity values of 20 to 30 percent and
gusty south winds of 20 to 25mph, locally to 30 mph in the
northern Champlain Valley and St. Lawrence Valley, may have an
impact on fire weather conditions today. If any fires were to
start the weather and fuel conditions could cause fires to quickly
get out of control and be difficult to contain.

For more information about the current fire danger rating, any burn
restrictions, and wildfire prevention and education, please visit
your state forestry or environmental protection website.
Remember, a burn ban is in effect for all of New York through May
14th, which means no open burning is allowed.
