ELEVATED RISK OF WILDFIRE SPREAD TODAY. A combination of dry and breezy conditions will create an elevated risk of wildfire spread across central Pennsylvania today. Minimum relative humidity values will range from 20 to 30 percent. Sustained winds from the northwest will increase to around 10 to 15 mph into the afternoon with gusts up to 20 mph possible. Abnormally dry to moderate drought conditions are also a contributing factor for 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.

POOR AIR QUALITY IN THE MID-ATLANTIC THROUGH FRIDAY DUE TO CANADIAN WILDFIRES. Due to Canadian wildfires, smoke is prevalent in the mid- Atlantic region, including the greater Baltimore and Washington metropolitan areas. Under northerly winds, smoke will continue to be pushed south over our area. The smoke is expected to be rather thick to start the day Thursday, but may start to decrease through the day. A front on Friday will bring some reprieve to fine particle concentrations. Depending on your location, Air Quality will vary, with much of the area either Code Orange or Code Red - possibly through Friday. A Code Orange Air Quality Alert means that air pollution concentrations within the region are unhealthy for sensitive groups. Sensitive groups include children, people with heart or heart or lung disease, older adults, children, pregnant people, and those that spend a lot of time outdoors. Some areas may see Code Red, which means “unhealthy for the general population.” If you are under a Code Red Air Quality Alert, everyone should keep outdoor activities light and short. For those people in sensitive groups, consider moving all activities indoors. The effects of air pollution on people can be minimized by avoiding strenuous outdoor activity or exercise indoors. Go indoors if you have symptoms.
