Until 2024-11-15T18:00:00-05:00 • National Weather Service
The combination of prolonged dry weather, northerly winds of 10 to 15 mph with locally higher gusts, relative humidity values between 20 and 40 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, Lake George and Saratoga area, eastern Catskills, Capital District, Mid-Hudson Valley, and the Taconics. An emergency statewide burn ban is in effect until November 30th for New York. No burn permits will be issued at this time.
