Special Weather Statement issued February 13 at 11:02AM EST by NWS Pittsburgh PA
A combination of dry and windy conditions will create an elevated
risk of wildfire spread this afternoon. Minimum relative humidity
values are forecast to drop into the low to mid 20s across
southwest Pennsylvania, with wind gusts between 20 and 30mph.
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.
