across the Central Ridge and Valley Region of Pennsylvania, along
with the Middle and Lower Susquehanna Valley.
Minimum relative humidity values this afternoon will range from
35 to 45 percent, accompanied by wind gusts from the southwest to
west that will top 45 mph at times.
Residents are urged to exercise caution if handling any potential
ignition sources, such as machinery, cigarettes, or matches.

the potential to spread rapidly.
