Special Weather Statement issued April 10 at 5:53AM EDT by NWS State College PA
The combination of marginally dry and breezy conditions will
create an elevated risk of wildfire spread across most of central
Pennsylvania once again today. Minimum relative humidity values
will be between 30 and 35 percent over the bulk of the region, but
could drop as low as the mid 20s for several hours this
afternoon.
Wind gusts will be from the south to southwest between 15 and 25
mph. Some locations across the Central and Northern Mountains
could see gusts from the southwest topping 30 mph between 11 AM
and 5 PM.
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.

prevention and education, please visit the Pennsylvania Department
