...ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD TODAY...

The combination of prolonged dry weather, northwest winds of 10 
to 15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph, relative humidity values 
between 20 and 25 percent and dry fuels will contribute to an 
elevated risk of fire spread today for portions of eastern New 
York, including the upper Hudson Valley, and the Lake George 
Saratoga region.

An emergency statewide burn ban is in effect until November 30th
for New York. No burn permits will be issued at this time. Use 
extra caution if handling any potential ignition sources, such as 
machinery or matches, and ensure to properly extinguish or dispose
cigarette butts.
