Special Weather Statement issued April 16 at 4:42AM EDT by NWS State College PA
A combination of dry and breezy conditions this afternoon and
evening will create an elevated risk of wildfire spread,
especially for south central Pennsylvania. Minimum relative
humidity values will range from 20 to 35 percent accompanied by
wind gusts between 20 and 25 mph.
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.
