YORK, Pa. — The FOX43 Weather Team has issued a Weather Impact Alert from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday for an elevated risk of wildfires and their rapid spread.
There’s a FIRE WEATHER WATCH for Dauphin, Lancaster, and Lebanon counties during this timeframe.
Outdoor burning is NOT recommended and should be avoided.
There have already been small brush fires this season in several spots throughout our area, in addition to larger wildfires in other parts of Pennsylvania. Continued dry conditions over the last several weeks, low humidity, and breezy, 20-25 mph gusts on Saturday will increase the risk of wildfires across Central PA.
Outdoor burning of any kind should be avoided. If you live in a municipality or township that has a burn ban in place, continue to heed the bans even after the Fire Weather Watch expires to help keep your neighbors and surrounding communities safe.
