.DISCUSSION...
Dry weather returns today for Easter Sunday with winds remaining
fairly breezy. Rapidly drying conditions are expected due to
high pressure building eastward, deep atmospheric mixing, and
northwesterly winds downsloping off higher terrain regions. So,
despite yesterday`s rain, soils are not expected to hold onto
their current moist state for long. In fact, according to latest
obs, most places in Eastern New York and western New England
only received up to 0.25" of liquid yesterday with locally
higher amounts of up to 0.35". Local fire weather partners
deemed these amounts insufficient to moisten fine fuels enough
to mitigate the risk of fire spread in otherwise dry and breezy
conditions. Therefore, with confidence in minimum RH values
ranging from 20-30% with gusts of 25 to 35 mph, and after
collaboration with fire weather partners and neighboring
offices, we have issued a Special Weather Statement for the
Catskill and Mid- Hudson FDRAs, Berkshire, and Litchfield
Counties. The statement specifically applies to the period
between 10 AM and 7 PM when winds will be strongest and RH will
be lowest.
