...ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD TODAY...

The combination of prolonged dry weather, northerly winds of 10 to
15 mph with locally higher gusts, relative humidity values
between 20 and 40 percent and dry fuels will contribute to an
elevated risk of fire spread today for portions of eastern New
York, including the upper Hudson Valley, Lake George and Saratoga
area, eastern Catskills, Capital District, Mid-Hudson Valley, and
the Taconics.

An emergency statewide burn ban is in effect until November 30th
for New York. No burn permits will be issued at this time. Use
extra caution if handling any potential ignition sources, such as
machinery or matches, and ensure to properly extinguish or dispose
cigarette butts.
