Description
From the National Weather Service Binghamton
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
