FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN NEW YORK...SOUTHERN
VERMONT...WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
247 PM EDT Thu May 2 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Today, RH values look to drop to 30 to 40% across portions of
the Mid Hudson Valley and western CT. Northwesterly wind gusts
will be around 15 kt in the Mid Hudson Valley and 15-20 kt in
western CT. Further north from the Mohawk Valley through the
Capital District and into the Berkshires, northwest winds could
gust up to around 25 kt, although RH values in these areas
should remain above 40%. With the lack of overlap between the
strongest winds and lowest RH values combined with the fact that
most of these areas saw a quarter to a half inch of rain over
the past 48 hours, we did not consider special weather
statements for elevated fire weather concerns today.
