Description
Special Weather Statement issued April 25 at 3:28AM EDT by NWS State College PA
A combination of warm temperatures in the mid to upper 70s,
low relative humidity in the 35 to 45 percent range, dry fine
fuels and leaf litter, and a moderately gusty southerly breeze in
the teens will create an elevated risk of wildfire spread today
across the portion of South Central Pennsylvania and the
Susquehanna Valley.
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
