Special Weather Statement issued March 29 at 6:18AM EDT by NWS Upton NY

High temperatures in the upper 70s and lower 80s, southwest winds
15 to 20 mph with frequent gusts 25 to 30 mph, relative humidity
as low as 30 to 35 percent, and lack of wetting rains over the
last 4 days will create an elevated risk for 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.
