...ELEVATED RISK OF WILDFIRE SPREAD TODAY...

Relative humidity will drop as low as 30 percent this afternoon,
along with south winds gusting up to 20 mph. These dry and breezy
conditions will pose an elevated risk for wildfire spread this
afternoon.

Residents are urged to exercise caution if handling any potential
ignition sources, such as machinery, cigarettes, or matches. If
dry grasses and tree litter ignite, the fire will have the
potential to spread rapidly. Be sure to heed any local and state
burning regulations.

For more information about wildfire danger and wildfire
prevention, please visit the Pennsylvania Department of
