Special Weather Statement issued April 10 at 8:32AM EDT by NWS Baltimore MD/Washington DC

Effective: Fri April 10, 2026, 8:32 AM
Expires: Fri April 10, 2026, 7:00 PM

The combination of drying 10 hour fuels, minimum relative humidity around 20 to 30 percent, and west to southwest wind gusts around 20 to 25 mph will lead to an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires today, especially in the afternoon to early evening. 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. For more information about wildfire danger, burn restrictions, and wildfire prevention and education, please visit your state forestry or environmental protection website.

Special Weather Statement issued April 10 at 5:53AM EDT by NWS State College 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 30 and 35 percent over the bulk of the region, but could drop as low as the mid 20s for several hours this afternoon. Wind gusts will be from the south to southwest between 15 and 25 mph. Some locations across the Central and Northern Mountains could see gusts from the southwest topping 30 mph between 11 AM and 5 PM. 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. For more information about wildfire danger and wildfire prevention and education, please visit the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources website at http://dcnr.pa.gov/Communities/Wildfire.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
