Special Weather Statement issued April 29 at 3:43AM EDT by NWS Upton NY

Dry conditions with the combination of low relative humidity
values between mostly 25 and 35 percent along with frequent wind
gusts of 25 to 30 mph will create an elevated risk for fire spread
this afternoon into early evening.

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.
