Special Weather Statement issued April 20 at 3:56AM EDT by NWS Upton NY

Continued dry conditions, with the combination of low relative
humidity values between 20 and 25 percent and frequent wind gusts
of 25 to 30 mph will create an elevated risk for fire spread
today.

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

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