Special Weather Statement issued March 23 at 5:43AM EDT by NWS Upton NY
The combination of low relative humidity values near 20 percent and northwest winds gusting 20 to 30 mph in the morning will create an elevated risk for fire spread across the region on Sunday. 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 considered meteorological, fuel, and land conditions, and has been developed in coordination with CT fire and land management officials.
Special Weather Statement issued March 21 at 9:43AM EDT by NWS Upton NY
Increasing northwest winds and drying low levels will create conditions more conducive for fire spread today into early this evening. Relative humidity is expected to decrease to near 25 to 30 percent this afternoon into early this evening, while wind gusts increase to 35 to 45 mph. An isolated gust to 50 mph will be possible. These conditions would likely aid fire spread if ignition occurs. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged, and residents are urged to exercise caution if handling any potential ignition sources, such as machinery, cigarettes, or matches. The annual statewide burn ban is in effect until May
