Until 2025-03-19T19:00:00-04:00 • National Weather Service
Relative humidity will drop as low as 25 to 30 percent this afternoon, along with south-southeast winds gusting to 20 to 30 mph, highest towards the Finger Lakes Region and the central Southern Tier. These dry and breezy conditions will pose an elevated risk for wildfire spread this afternoon in parts of Central New York. Residents are urged to exercise caution if handling any potential ignition sources, such as machinery, cigarettes, or matches. If dry grasses and tree litter ignite, the fire will have the potential to spread rapidly. The annual statewide burn ban is in effect until May 14. No burn permits are issued.
