Penn Lake Weather

Relative humidity will drop as low as 25 to 30 percent this
afternoon, along with south-southeast winds gusting to 20 to 30
mph. These dry and breezy conditions will pose an elevated risk
for wildfire spread this afternoon in parts of Northeastern
Pennsylvania.

Residents are urged to exercise caution if handling any potential
ignition sources, such as machinery, cigarettes, or matches. If
dry grasses and tree litter ignite, the fire will have the
potential to spread rapidly. Be sure to heed any local and state
burning regulations.
