...ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD SUNDAY...

The combination of recent dry weather, southerly winds gusting to
15 to 20 mph, relative humidity values dropping to 30 to 40
percent, and dry fuels will contribute to an elevated risk of
fire spread Sunday afternoon for portions of eastern New York,
including the eastern Catskills, Capital District, Mid-Hudson
Valley, and the Taconics.

Any outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Use extra caution if
handling any potential ignition sources, such as machinery or
matches, and ensure to properly extinguish or dispose cigarette
butts. Please refer to the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation web site for information on burn restrictions.
