Alertes en vigueurHillsdale, NY

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.
