The combination of 10 hour fuel moistures around 8 to 10 percent, relative humidities around 35 percent, and wind gusts of 20 to 30 mph will lead to an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires this afternoon. Residents and visitors are urged to properly dispose of cigarette butts, matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate containers. Additionally, exercise caution if operating any equipment that could create sparks and keep vehicles off of dry grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily ignite and spread fire quickly. Lastly, remember to obey local burn bans.

The combination of drying fine fuels and leaf litter, low relative humidity of 35 to 40 percent and a southwesterly wind gusting between 20 and 30 mph during the late morning and afternoon hours, will create an elevated risk of wildfire spread across the southern half of Pennsylvania today. A few showers are possible during the mid to late morning hours today, but any rain will be brief and generally amounting to just a few hundredths of an inch. 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.
