國家氣象局警告紐約州北部野火風險升高

國家氣象局向紐約州西部和北部發出警告，預計由於春季異常乾燥和多風，發生野火的風險很高。濕度預計將降至 20% 以下，陣風將達到每小時 30 英里，在大部分晴朗的天氣下，氣溫將接近 70 度。乾燥的天氣和強風的結合使紐約州北部的火災危險性升至中等，是五類火災危險性中第二低的。

National Weather Service Warns of Increased Wildfire Risk in Upstate New York

國家氣象局警告紐約州北部野火風險增加

Syracuse, N.Y. - The National Weather Service has issued a special weather statement warning of an elevated risk of wildfires across most of Upstate New York today, citing a combination of dry and windy conditions.

紐約州錫拉丘茲 - 美國國家氣象局發布了一份特別天氣聲明，警告今天紐約州北部大部分地區發生野火的風險增加，理由是乾燥和多風的天氣。

Humidity levels are anticipated to fall below 20%, while winds could reach gusts of up to 30 mph. Temperatures are forecast to climb to near 70 degrees under predominantly sunny skies.

濕度預計將降至 20% 以下，而陣風可能達到每小時 30 英里。在晴朗的天空下，預計氣溫將升至近 70 度。

"Despite a wet spring, fine fuels such as dead grass and leaf litter will rapidly desiccate in these conditions," the weather service stated in its advisory. "Should any fires ignite, the prevailing dry and windy weather will exacerbate the spread of the blaze, rendering containment challenging."

氣象部門在其報告中表示：“儘管春天潮濕，但死草和落葉等優質燃料將在這種情況下迅速乾燥。” “如果發生火災，普遍的乾燥多風天氣將加劇火勢蔓延，使控制變得困難。”

Syracuse has experienced approximately half an inch more rainfall since March 1 compared to historical averages. Nonetheless, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has classified the statewide fire danger as moderate, the second-lowest category on a five-point scale.

自 3 月 1 日以來，錫拉丘茲的降雨量比歷史平均值增加了約半英寸。儘管如此，紐約州環境保護部仍將全州火災危險列為中等，五分制中第二低的類別。

Precipitation is expected tonight, potentially delivering half an inch of rainfall across Upstate.

預計今晚將有降水，整個州北部可能會出現半英寸的降雨量。

Spring is typically the peak wildfire season in Upstate New York, occurring before foliage emerges and plants absorb moisture from the soil. Consequently, an annual statewide outdoor burn ban is enforced from mid-March to mid-May; this year, the ban will expire on May 14. Brush burning is permissible under specific regulations during other times of the year. However, burning household waste is strictly prohibited in New York.

春季通常是紐約州北部野火的高峰季節，發生在樹葉長出和植物從土壤中吸收水分之前。因此，每年三月中旬至五月中旬在全州範圍內實施戶外燃燒禁令；今年，該禁令將於 5 月 14 日到期。然而，紐約嚴格禁止焚燒家庭垃圾。

The weather service strongly advises against open burning during these high-risk conditions. Residents are urged to exercise extreme caution and report any suspicious smoke or flames to the appropriate authorities immediately.

氣象部門強烈建議不要在這些高風險條件下進行露天焚燒。敦促居民格外小心，並立即向有關當局報告任何可疑的煙霧或火焰。

Additional weather updates and safety recommendations will be disseminated through local media outlets and the National Weather Service website.
