Long Island Food, Wine, & Dining News Coverage

Weather Alert  

ELEVATED THREAT OF WILDFIRE SPREAD TODAY The combination of unseasonably warm temperatures, west winds gusting 25 to 30 mph, minimum relative humidity values of 30 to 40 percent, and low fuel moisture will create an elevated risk of wildfire growth and spread today. A backdoor cold front will move across the area later this afternoon, working from eastern Long Island early this afternoon into the city and Lower Hudson Valley by early this evening. Much cooler air and scattered showers will move into the area decreasing the threat. Exercise caution handling any potential ignition sources, including machinery, cigarettes, and matches. Any fires that ignite under these conditions have the potential to spread quickly. This forecast considers meteorological, fuel, and land conditions and was developed in coordination with state fire and land management officials.
