Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Northern Vermont and
Northern New York
National Weather Service Burlington VT
258 PM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024

...Showery and Cool, Trending Drier Sunday and Monday...

.DISCUSSION...
Conditions have remained somewhat cooler than forecast, and as a
result, relative humidities are currently about 45 to 55 percent
over Vermont and 60 to 70 percent over New York. Breezy southerly
winds will continue gusting 20 to 30 mph at times, locally up to
35 mph in the northern Champlain Valley through this evening. A
weak front is moving in from the west, and will bring light rain,
mainly around or less than 0.10". Saturday will also be breezy,
with winds 15-25 mph returning, locally higher in showers. Some
snow or graupel may be mixed in with showers. Additional liquid
amounts will be 0.10" or less again, mainly near the international
border. Outside precipitation, minimum relative humidity values
will still be dry. At peak heating, the southern Champlain Valley
and Connecticut River Valley could briefly drop to about 30
percent RH, but most other locations will be around 35 to 50
percent in the afternoon. No fire weather concerns are
anticipated through the weekend.
