...INCREASED RISK OF WILDFIRE SPREAD THIS AFTERNOON...

A combination of dry and windy conditions this afternoon will 
create an increased risk of wildfire spread east of the 
Susquehanna River. Minimum relative humidity values will range 
from the upper 30s to the low 40s percent accompanied by wind 
gusts between 25 and 35 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.

For more information about wildfire danger, local burn bans, and 
wildfire prevention and education, please visit the Pennsylvania 
Department of Conservation and Natural Resources website at
