Issued by NWS Albany NY
The combination of dry fuels, gusty northwest winds between 25 and 35 mph, and minimum relative humidity values as low as 40 to 50 percent will contribute to an elevated risk of fire spread within much of the Hudson Valley, including Warren, Washington, Saratoga, Schenectady, Albany, Rensselaer, Greene, Columbia, Ulster, and Dutchess counties. The lowest relative humidity and strongest winds are expected this afternoon.
Use extra caution if handling any potential ignition sources such as machinery or matches, and ensure to properly extinguish or dispose of cigarette butts.
