FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR EASTERN NEW YORK...SOUTHERN
VERMONT...WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
402 AM EST Thu Nov 7 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Continued gusty winds will support persistent fire weather
concerns into today and Friday. Humidity levels look to remain
elevated today, with minimum daytime RH of 40 to 60 percent
across southern portions of western New England and the Mid-
Hudson Valley along with west to northwest winds gusting to
20-30 mph this afternoon. On Friday, a drier air mass will see
lower RH values of 30 to 50 percent for areas south of I-90, and
50-70% to the north. In addition, gusty west to northwest winds
may reach 25-35 mph, if not slightly stronger. Additional fire
weather products may therefore be needed both days.

In coordination with fire weather partners in Connecticut and
Massachusetts, a Special Weather Statement was issued for
Litchfield and Berkshire County through 7pm Thursday given gusty
winds that can support fire spread.
