Description
Special Weather Statement issued October 30 at 8:21AM EDT by NWS Binghamton NY
A combination of dry and breezy conditions today will result in
an elevated risk of wildfire spread across most of northeast
Pennsylvania. The ongoing dry spell combined with minimum relative
humidity values around 40 percent this afternoon and wind gusts
from the northwest to 30 mph will all contribute to the elevated
risk of wildfire spread.
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
