A combination of dry and windy conditions will create an elevated risk of wildfire spread across southeast Pennsylvania this afternoon. Minimum relative humidity values will range from 30 to 35 percent accompanied by wind gusts between 25 and 35 mph. High temperatures in the upper 70s to lower 80s under partly to mostly sunny skies will be conducive for outdoor recreation, but please avoid any activities that could start a fire. 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.
