In effect from Friday 10/30 8:07 AM EDT – Friday 10/30 5:00 PM EDT
Issued by NWS State College PA
A combination of dry and breezy conditions today will result in an elevated risk of wildfire spread across most of central Pennsylvania. The ongoing dry spell combined with minimum relative humidity values around 30 percent this afternoon and wind gusts from the northwest between 20 and 30 mph will all contribute to the elevated risk of wildfire spread.
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.
