...ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD SATURDAY...

The combination of northwesterly wind gusts up to 30 mph, minimum
relative humidity values between 30 and 35 percent and drying
fuels following a period of rain tonight will contribute to an
elevated risk for fire spread on Saturday for portions of the
Catskills and Hudson Valley. The lowest relative humidity values
and strongest winds will occur during the afternoon hours.

As a reminder, the annual statewide burn ban is in effect until
May 14. No burn permits are issued. Use extra caution if handling
any potential ignition sources such as machinery or matches, and
ensure to properly extinguish or dispose of cigarette butts.
Please refer to the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation web site for more information on burn restrictions.
