The combination of low relative humidity between 25 and 30
percent and south winds gusting around 20 mph will result in an
enhanced risk of wildfire spread. If any fires were to start the
weather and fuel conditions could cause fires to quickly get out
of control and be difficult to contain.
The annual NY statewide burn ban is in effect until May 14th. No
burn permits are issued.

...ENHANCED RISK OF WILDFIRE SPREAD THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING...
The combination of low relative humidity between 25 and 30
percent, south winds 10 to 15 mph gusting over 20 mph, and drying
fuels, will increase the potential for the spread of fires from
through early this evening.
People should exercise caution handling any potential ignition
sources, including machinery, cigarettes, and matches. Any fires
that ignite in dry grasses and tree litter will have the
potential to spread quickly
