...ELEVATED RISK OF WILDFIRE SPREAD THIS AFTERNOON...

A combination of dry and windy conditions this afternoon will
create an elevated risk of wildfire spread across eastern
Pennsylvania, especially east of US-15. Minimum relative humidity
values will range from 25 to 35 percent accompanied by wind gusts
between 15 and 20 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.
