There is an elevated risk for fire spread today across eastern
Pennsylvania. Minimum relative humidity values will drop to
around 35 percent this afternoon. This will be accompanied by
temperatures rising generally rising into the 60s and 70s and
west winds around 10 to 15 gusting to around 25 mph. These
conditions 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. Use caution while
using any machinery outdoors, such as lawn care equipment, that
could cause sparks to come in contact with the dry ground.
This forecast considers meteorological, fuel, and land conditions
and has been developed in coordination with state fire officials.
