A combination of dry and breezy conditions will result in an
elevated risk of wildfire spread across central Pennsylvania this
afternoon into the early evening. Minimum relative humidity
values will range from 15 to 25 percent with maximum wind gusts
from the west between 15 and 25 mph.
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.
