Description
Special Weather Statement issued April 24 at 7:06AM EDT by NWS Pittsburgh PA
A combination of very warm temperatures, low relative humidity in
the 20s (percent), and dry fine fuels and leaf litter will create
an elevated risk of wildfire spread today across portions of
Western Pennsylvania south of Interstate 80.
The period of greatest potential for wildfire spread will be
between 11 am and 7 pm today.
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
of Conservation and Natural Resources website at
