...ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD TODAY...

The combination of prolonged dry weather, northwest winds of 4 to
8 mph, relative humidity values between 30 and 40 percent and dry
fuels will contribute to an elevated risk of fire spread and
ignition today for portions of the Catskills. The lowest humidity
levels are expected during the late morning and afternoon hours.

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.
