Special Weather Statement issued February 19 at 12:11PM 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 25 to 35 percent range, with
some locations dropping even a bit lower, across southwest
Pennsylvania, southeast Ohio, and northern West Virginia.
Southwest wind will gust to between 25 and 35 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.
