Pennsylvania Special Weather Statement | Effective 04/23/2026 05:34

A combination of dry and windy conditions this afternoon will create an elevated risk of wildfire spread across eastern Pennsylvania, especially east of US-15. Minimum relative humidity values will range from 25 to 35 percent accompanied by wind gusts between 15 and 20 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.
