...INCREASED FIRE DANGER THIS AFTERNOON...

Low relative humidity values resulting from exceptionally dry
weather will impose an increased risk for fire danger this
afternoon. Relative humidity values are expected to drop as low as
30% during peak heating hours across southwestern Pennsylvania.
In addition, westerly wind gusts to 15-20 mph at times are
expected this afternoon, and this will work in tandem with the low
RH values to create an increased risk for fire danger. Exercise
enhanced caution with activities that involve open flames or
sparks as fires can easily spread in these weather conditions.
