.DISCUSSION...
While RH values today are expected to drop to 30- 40% in the
Hudson Valley, wind gusts will generally remain in the 15- 20
mph range or lower, except for around the Capital District where
more frequent gusts to around 20 to 25 mph are possible
this afternoon. Nevertheless, given the limited overlap of
stronger winds and lower RH values, combined with the recent
precipitation, the potential for fire spread today does not look
to be high enough to warrant SPS issuance at this time.
Widespread rain is expected late tonight into the weekend, which
should further mitigate any fire weather concerns through early
next week.
