Special Weather Statement issued March 29 at 11:12AM EDT by NWS Upton NY

The combination of unseasonably warm temperatures, west winds
gusting 25 to 30 mph, minimum relative humidity values of 30 to
40 percent, and low fuel moisture will create an elevated risk of
wildfire growth and spread today.

Exercise caution handling any potential ignition sources,
including machinery, cigarettes, and matches. Any fires that
ignite under these conditions have the potential to spread
quickly.

This forecast considers meteorological, fuel, and land conditions
and was developed in coordination with state fire and land
management officials.
