.DISCUSSION...
Fairly dry weather has been in place across much of the region
since last fall. Since January 1st, precipitation has been
running about 1 to 3 inches below normal. While high terrain and
northern areas continue to have a snow pack in place, the snow
has melted out in most valley and southern areas.
Our region will be under the influence of a mild southerly flow
for today. During peak afternoon heating, high temperatures will
be reaching into the 60s for many valley areas with southerly
wind gusts up to 30 mph. RH values will be as low as 25 to 30
percent for the southern half of the region.
Based on these conditions and coordination with state partners,
a Special Weather Statement has been issued for parts of Ulster,
Dutchess, Litchfield and Berkshires Counties, as the low RH,
gusty winds and dry conditions will allow for an elevated risk
for fire spread for today.
Cooler temperatures, less wind and higher RH values are expected
by Wednesday. The next chance for significant precipitation will
be over the weekend.
