A combination of very warm temperatures, low relative humidity in the 20s (percent), dry fine fuels and leaf litter, and a moderately gusty southerly breeze in the teens will create an elevated risk of wildfire spread today across the portion of Central Pennsylvania from around Interstate 80 south to the Maryland Border. The period of greatest potential for wildfire spread will be between 11 am and 7 pm today. 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.
