Description
Special Weather Statement issued April 10 at 6:50AM EDT by NWS Pittsburgh PA
The combination of marginally dry and breezy conditions will
create an elevated risk of wildfire spread across most of central
Pennsylvania once again today. Minimum relative humidity values
will be between 25 and 35 percent over the bulk of the region,
though rain sneaking into northwest PA may limit those humidity
drops to the 40 percent range.
Wind gusts will be from the south to southwest between 15 and 25
mph with an occasional 30 mph gust in higher terrain locations
between noon and 5pm EDT.
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.

prevention and education, please visit the Pennsylvania Department
