A blast of cold air will send temperatures to well below freezing at most locations tonight. With forecast lows in the low to mid 20s for the valleys and mid to upper 20s on the ridges, any freshly budding or blossoming vegetation could be damaged or killed. Now is the time to prepare for this cold snap. An enhanced risk of wildfires will occur on Tuesday, as relative humidity lowers to near or below 20 percent, along with southwest wind gusts of 20 to 30 mph in place. Locations near I-64 could see localized gusts above 30 mph in the afternoon. Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether you can burn Tuesday. Use caution when burning as fires may get out of hand quickly in these conditions. $$ JMW/GEOGERIAN
