.DISCUSSION...
Despite gusty winds this afternoon, widespread precipitation earlier
today will limit the threat for fire spread. Additional rainfall is
expected tonight for areas south of I-90, and especially towards the
I-84 corridor. While RH values tomorrow are expected to drop to 35-
45% 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 mph are possible tomorrow
afternoon. Nevertheless, given the limited overlap of stronger winds
and lower RH values, combined with the recent precipitation, the
potential for fire spread tomorrow does not look to be high enough
to warrant SPS issuance at this time. Widespread rain is expected
Friday night into the weekend, which should further mitigate any
fire weather concerns through early next week.
