The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is prohibiting campfires at state parks until further notice.
Officials say it has been extremely dry over the last couple of weeks. Combined with the sunny days, unseasonable warmth and low humidity, conditions are ripe for fires.
Outside of rain today, the 10-day forecast appears to not have enough meaningful precipitation, which will make the current situation even more potent.
The DCNR says the state has experienced 100 reported wildfires in the past week.
