DESCRIPTION: Fine fuels remain very dry across the area according to the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Portions of the region are also in moderate drought. Southerly winds will quickly increase to 10 to 20 MPH today, with gusts up to 25 MPH. Localized gusts up to 35 MPH will occur in the Champlain Valley and far northern Adirondacks. These winds, combined with low relative humidity values between 25% and 35%, will create near critical fire weather conditions. Winds will be strongest between noon and 8 PM, coinciding with the timing of the minimum relative humidity values. If any fires were to start the weather and fuel conditions could cause them to quickly get out of control and be difficult to contain. Fire weather conditions will quickly improve as a wetting rain arrives in the late afternoon and evening. For more information about the current fire danger rating, any burn restrictions, and wildfire prevention and education, please visit your state forestry or environmental protection website.

Cumulus clouds are fluffy and textured with rounded tops, and
may have flat bottoms. The border of a cumulus cloud
is clearly defined, and can have the appearance of cotton or cauliflower.
Cumulus clouds form at low altitudes (rarely above 2 km) but can grow very tall,
becoming cumulus congestus and possibly the even taller cumulonimbus clouds.
When cumulus clouds become taller, they have a greater chance of producing precipitation.

Evaporation is the process which returns water from the earth
back to the atmosphere, and is another crucial process in the water cycle.
Evaporation is the transformation of liquid into gas, and it happens because
molecules are excited by the application of energy and turn into vapor.
In order for water to evaporate it has to be on the surface of a body of water.
