will contribute to an elevated risk for fire spread tomorrow for
portions of the Catskills and Hudson Valley. The lowest relative
humidity values and strongest winds will likely occur tomorrow
afternoon.

As a reminder, the annual statewide burn ban is in effect until
May 14. No burn permits are issued. Use extra caution if handling
