...ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD ON FRIDAY...

The combination of prolonged dry weather, northerly winds up to 20
mph with locally higher gusts, relative humidity values between
25 and 35 percent, and dry fuels will contribute to an elevated
risk of fire spread on Friday for portions of eastern New York,
including the western Champlain Valley.

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.
