Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Binghamton NY 412 PM EDT Mon Mar 10 2025 ...Elevated Risk of Wildfire Spread on Tuesday... A combination of dry and windy conditions will create an elevated risk of wildfire spread across portions of the Finger Lakes, Southern Tier and in Sullivan County, NY where the snow pack has fully melted. Minimum relative humidity will dip into the 30s percent range and wind gusts between 15 to 25 mph are also expected Tuesday afternoon. Residents are urged to exercise caution if handling any potential ignition sources, such as machinery, cigarettes, or matches. If dry grasses and tree litter ignite, the fire will have the potential to spread rapidly.
