.DISCUSSION...
.SPS remains in effect through this evening for
Berkshire and Litchfield Counties for elevated risk of fire
development per coordination with our CT and MA fire weather
partners. RH values recover to near 100% tonight with calm winds.
Tomorrow, RH values again drop to 25 to 35% for areas along and
south of I-90, including Berkshire and Litchfield Counties. RH
values for areas north of I-90 will be around 35 to 45%. While the
dry conditions will make it easier for fires to start, wind gusts
are expected to be 10 kt or less tomorrow in areas where the RH is
low, which should limit the risk of fire spread. RH values recover
to near 100% again tomorrow night.
Monday through Wednesday...Dry and warm conditions continue, and
winds will be more elevated (gusts of 10-15 kt possible). However,
minimum RH values are currently expected to remain at or above 35%
for most areas each day Monday through Wednesday. The next chance
for rain is Wednesday evening or night.
