Special Weather Statement

A combination of dry and windy conditions will create an elevated risk of wildfire spread across southeastern PA, mainly along and south of I-80 and along and east of I-99. Minimum relative humidity values will dip into the 30s, accompanied by wind gusts between 20 and 30 mph.

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.
