Conditions in some northeast states are the driest they've been in nearly 120 years as numerous wildfires continue to burn.

The burn ban comes during an extremely dry period for the whole state. With only .02 inches of rain last month, October was the driest month on record for the Lehigh Valley. The National Weather Service said .29 inches of rain have fallen so far this month, which is not enough to put a “meaningful dent” in drought conditions.
