Special Weather Statement issued April 10 at 2:32AM EDT by NWS Albany NY

Effective: Fri April 10, 2026, 2:32 AM
Expires: Fri April 10, 2026, 6:00 PM

The combination of dry fine fuels, southerly wind gusts between 25 and 35 mph, and minimum relative humidity values between 30 to 35 percent will contribute to an elevated risk for fire spread today for portions of the Catskills and Hudson Valley. The lowest relative humidity values and strongest winds will likely occur this afternoon. As a reminder, the annual statewide burn ban is 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 Conservation web site for more information on burn restrictions.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
