There is an elevated risk for fire spread today for portions of eastern Pennsylvania. Minimum relative humidity values will drop to around 30 to 40 percent this afternoon. This will be accompanied by southerly winds with gusts up to 20 MPH. 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. Conditions improve during the evening as the wind diminishes and the relative humidity increases. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Be sure to properly extinguish or dispose of any potential ignition sources, including smoking materials such as cigarette butts. This forecast considers meteorological, fuel, and land conditions and has been developed in coordination with state fire officials.
