...ELEVATED RISK OF WILDFIRE SPREAD ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA...

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