Anyone lighting fireworks this holiday weekend beware, there are very dry conditions throughout the area. The National Weather Service reported 2.4" less rain than usual in June in Poughkeepsie, and 1.5" less in Albany. The U.S. Drought Monitor lists the entire WGXC listening area as "abnormally dry," with "moderate drought" conditions in mountainous parts of Greene and Ulster counties. There is little rain in the weather forecast too.
