...GUSTY WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITY WILL LEAD TO AN ELEVATED RISK FOR
FIRE SPREAD TUESDAY...

The combination of drying fine fuels, southwest wind gusts
as high as 25 to 35 mph, and relative humidity values as low as
30 to 40 percent will lead to an elevated risk of fire spread
Tuesday across Delaware and Sullivan Counties, mainly during the
afternoon hours.

As a reminder, the annual statewide burn ban remains in effect
until May 14. No burn permits are issued. Use extra caution if
handling any potential ignition sources such as machinery or
matches and ensure to properly extinguish or dispose of cigarette
butts. Please refer to the New York State Department of Environmental
