Discussion

KEY MESSAGE 1:

The SPS for elevated risk of fire spread for the Hudson Valley, Upper Hudson Valley and Catskills expired at 6 pm. Gusty west to northwest winds will continue to diminish early this evening with the skies becoming partly cloudy to mostly clear. Lows will be much colder than last night with mid 20s to lower 30s over the higher terrain: and mid and upper 30s in the valleys. Northwest to north winds will generally be 10 mph or less shortly before or just after midnight.

KEY MESSAGE 2:

Outside of a few evening showers/sprinkles across portions of the SW Adirondacks, generally dry conditions are expected through the weekend and into the middle of next week. Chances for rain increase later next week ahead of an approaching frontal system and upper level trough, however there remains uncertainty regarding whether upper level systems phase and result in a widespread soaking rain, or the systems remain separate, allowing for a more limited chance for showers.
