Special Weather Statement issued November 1 at 10:05AM EDT by NWS Binghamton NY

Northwest winds of 10 to 20 mph, gusting to 25 to 30 mph, low relative humidity, dry fuels, and leaf litter will support wildfire spread if any fire were to ignite. Any outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Use extra caution if handling any potential ignition sources, such as machinery or matches, and ensure to properly extinguish or dispose cigarette butts.
