[ARCHIVED] Special Weather Statement . . .

Red Flag Warning

EVENT: Special Weather Statement

ALERT:

A combination of dry fuels, low relative humidity and windy

conditions this afternoon will create an elevated risk of wildfire

spread across much of Central Pennsylvania.


Minimum relative humidity values will range from 20 to 30 percent

accompanied by wind gusts between 20 and 30 mph from the south-

southwest.


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.
