A combination of dry and windy conditions this afternoon will
create an elevated risk of wildfire spread across western
Pennsylvania, including Allegheny National Forest. Minimum
relative humidity values will range from 20 to 30 percent
accompanied by wind gusts between 15 and 20 mph.
Residents are urged to exercise caution if handling any potential
ignition sources, such as machinery, cigarettes, or matches. If

potential to spread rapidly.
