Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central/Northern Vermont and
Northern New York
National Weather Service Burlington VT
245 PM EST Sat Nov 9 2024

...Winds Abating And Dry Until A Warm Front Sunday Night...

.DISCUSSION...
Winds are subsiding after gusting up to 20-25 mph much of the day.
The center of a strong 1032mb high is almost overhead, and as the
sun sets, winds will quickly calm. Radiational cooling should
promote modest recoveries tonight with relative humidity values
around 75 to 85 percent overnight, except over regions above 3000
feet in elevation.

For Sunday, another dry day is expected. The St. Lawrence Valley
is likely to remain at or above 40 percent, but areas east will
likely fall between 30 to 35 percent. Fortunately, winds will
mainly be about 5 to 10 mph at the surface, and as south winds
increase, so will the relative humidities. Light winds and
filtered sunlight should preclude fire weather concerns, but low
humidity values will likely keep fine fuels receptive to burning.
A warm front and a series of low pressure systems will bring some
rain to the region. Between Sunday night and Tuesday, about
0.10-0.33" is most likely.
