Fire weather danger will be high today across the North Country with fine fuels beginning to dry across the St. Lawrence Valley, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

Although fuels are not quite critically dry, the combination of low relative humidity values between 20 and 30 percent and breezy southwest winds of 20 to 30 mph, may lead to increase fire weather concerns this afternoon, NWS says.

The period of strongest winds and lowest relative humidity values are expected from 1 and 5 p.m. If any fires were to start, the weather and localized fuel conditions may result in rapid fire spread, the service says.

A burn ban is in effect for all of New York through May 14, which means no open burning is allowed.

Skies will be sunny with highs near 62 today, forecasters says. Winds will be 10-16 mph.

Overnight the low will be around 36 with winds 11 mph and gusts as high as 24 mph.
