risk of wildfire spread across southeastern PA, mainly along and
south of I-80 and along and east of I-99. Minimum relative
humidity values will dip into the 30s, accompanied by wind gusts
between 20 and 30 mph.

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.
