While the weather has been pleasant in our area, it has made the ground dry and a combination of dry ground and windy conditions today will create an elevated risk of fire today.
The National Weather Service has issued a special weather statement on the elevated risk of wildfire across Western Pennsylvania until 6:00 tonight. During this time, minimum relative humidity levels of 20-30% along with wind gusts between 15 and 20 miles an hour create ripe conditions for wildfires that could be touched off with even a small spark.
Indiana Fire Association Assistant Chief Ron Moreau said that these times, while they are brief, can be dangerous.
We may see some showers by the end of the week. Stay with your Hometown Radio Stations throughout the day for the latest Accuweather Forecast.
