...INCREASED FIRE DANGER ACROSS SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA,
SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA IN EFFECT FROM 11
AM THROUGH 8 PM EDT THIS EVENING...

After coordination with local land managers, a Fire Danger
Statement has been issued for counties within southeast West
Virginia, southwest Virginia and northwest North Carolina. The
combination of dry fuels, afternoon relative humidity below 30
percent, and winds gusting at times 25 mph to locally 40 mph will
increase the danger of any fires quickly spreading out of
control.

Please exercise extreme caution if handling open flames or
equipment that creates sparks. Dispose of cigarette buttes,
matches, and other flammable materials in appropriate containers.
Keep vehicles off of dry grass and obey local burn bans. Most dry
grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily ignite
and spread fire quickly. Refer to your local burn-permitting
authority on whether you may burn today.

...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER IN EFFECT FROM 11AM THROUGH 8PM THIS
EVENING FOR MOST OF MARYLAND, VIRGINIA, AND EASTERN WEST VIRGINIA

Elevated fire weather conditions are expected today across most
of Maryland, eastern West Virginia, and Virginia.

Relative humidity values are expected to drop back to around 20 to
25 percent Tuesday afternoon, with some areas possibly seeing
relative humidity values below 20 percent for a couple of hours.
West winds gust 15 to 20 mph in the valleys, and 20 to 25 mph on
the eastern slopes of the mountains. Gusts could occasionally be
close to 30 mph. This will result in the continued drying of fine
fuels.

Residents and visitors are urged to exercise caution if handling
open flames or equipment that creates sparks. Also, dispose of
cigarette butts, matches, and other flammable items in appropriate
containers. Keep vehicles off of dry grass and obey local burn bans.
Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily
ignite and spread fire quickly.

and wildfire prevention and education, please visit your state`s
