...Fire Weather
Concerns Across Western and North Central New York today...
Dry conditions
again today will continue to dry out fine fuels, such as leaf litter and
grass. This will combine with southerly wind gusts of 30 to 35 mph and
afternoon relative values of 25 to 30 percent to elevate fire weather
concerns. If any fires were to start...the dry windy weather would increase
the risk of wildfire spread...making it difficult
to contain.
The annual
statewide burn ban is in effect until May 14th. No burn permits are issued.
