Moderate Extreme Weather ● Active
Special Weather Statement issued October 30 at 8:07AM EDT by NWS State College PA, United States of America
Loading live data… · Marker positions are approximate; severity is labelled in each popup. Sources: USGS, GDACS, NASA EONET, NOAA/NWS, EMSC.
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.

prevention and education, please visit the Pennsylvania Department
