Special Weather Statement issued October 30 at 8:21AM EDT by NWS Binghamton NY
A combination of dry and breezy conditions today will result in an elevated risk of wildfire spread across most of northeast Pennsylvania. The ongoing dry spell combined with minimum relative humidity values around 40 percent this afternoon and wind gusts from the northwest to 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. For more information about wildfire danger and wildfire prevention and education, please visit the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources website at http://dcnr.pa.gov/Communities/Wildfire.
Special Weather Statement issued October 30 at 7:50AM EDT by NWS Mount Holly NJ
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.
