Special Weather Statement National Weather Service New York NY 438 PM EDT Fri Apr 10 2026 ...ELEVATED RISK OF FIRE SPREAD SATURDAY... The combination of gusty northwest winds, up to 20 to 25 mph, and low relative humidity, as low as 25 to 30 percent, on Saturday will produce an elevated risk of fire spread. As a reminder, New York's annual statewide burn ban is in effect until May 14. Use caution when handling any potential ignition sources, including machinery, cigarettes and matches. Any fires that ignite will have the potential to spread quickly. The forecast considers meteorological, fuel, and land conditions and has been developed in coordination with state fire and land management officials.
