...Increased Risk of Rapid Fire Spread This Afternoon...

There is an increased risk for rapid fire spread this afternoon
across portions of eastern Pennsylvania. Minimum relative humidity
values will be between 20 and 30 percent combined with south-
southeast winds near 10 mph and gusts of 15 to 20 mph. High
temperatures this afternoon will range from the low 60s to near
70. These conditions along with the continued drying of fine fuels
could support the rapid spread of any fires that ignite, which
could quickly become difficult to control.

Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Be sure to properly
extinguish or dispose of any potential ignition sources, including
smoking materials such as cigarette butts.
