A combination of dry air and very dry fuels will create an elevated risk of wildfire spread in central Pennsylvania. Minimum relative humidity values will range from 20 to 35 percent. Residents are urged to exercise caution if handling any potential ignition sources, such as machinery, cigarettes, or matches. If dry grasses and tree litter begin to burn, the fire will have the potential to spread rapidly.
