Full Notification

There is an increased risk for fire spread today for portions of eastern Pennsylvania. Minimum relative humidity values will be between 20 to 30 percent combined with southwest winds near 10 to 15 mph and gusts up to 25 mph. High temperatures this afternoon will range from the mid 60s to low 70s. These conditions along with the continued drying of fine fuels could support the rapid spread of any fires that ignite, which could quickly become difficult to control. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Be sure to properly extinguish or dispose of any potential ignition sources, including smoking materials such as cigarette butts. Refer to your state's forest fire management agency for more information on burn restrictions for your local area.
