Special Weather Statement issued February 28 at 3:19PM EST by NWS State College PA

Gusty West to Northwest winds between 30 and 35 mph at times will
combine with sharply falling dewpoints and relative humidity in
the afternoon to create and elevated potential for fire spread.

Minimum relative humidity values will be between 25 and 35
percent

These conditions could lead to rapid spread of any fires that
ignite, which could quickly become difficult to control.

Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Refrain from discarding
any smoking materials, including cigarette butts.

Refer to your state’s forest fire management agency for more
information on burn restrictions for your local area.
