| The ongoing dry spell combined with minimum relative
humidity values around 30 percent this afternoon and wind gusts
from the northwest between 20 and 30 mph will all contribute to
the elevated risk of wildfire spread.
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.
For more information about wildfire danger and wildfire
prevention and education, please visit the Pennsylvania Department
