Moderate

The combination of dry fine fuels, gusty northwesterly winds up to<br /> 25 mph and minimum relative humidity values between 20 and 30<br /> percent will contribute to an elevated risk for fire spread today<br /> across portions of the Upper Hudson Valley, including Washington,<br /> Warren and Saratoga Counties. The lowest relative humidity values<br /> and strongest winds will occur during the afternoon hours. As a reminder, the annual statewide burn ban is in effect until<br /> May 14. No burn permits are issued. Use extra caution if handling<br />
