Weather Alert
...ELEVATED RISK OF WILDFIRE SPREAD THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...
The combination of dry and windy conditions this afternoon into
this evening will create an elevated risk of wildfire spread
across the Central Ridge and Valley Region of Pennsylvania, along
with the Middle and Lower Susquehanna Valley.
Minimum relative humidity values this afternoon will range from
35 to 45 percent, accompanied by wind gusts from the southwest to
west that will top 45 mph at times.
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.

The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) is asking the state Supreme Court to review a Commonwealth Court decision that ruled the organization is subject to the Right to Know Law.
In September, PIAA attorney Allan Boyton argued in front of the Commonwealth Court judges that the group should not be subject to the open records law. In November, in a 28-page opinion, the Commonwealth Court upheld the Office of Open Records’ original ruling that the PIAA is subject to the law.
