...INCREASED FIRE DANGER ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA
AND SOUTH CENTRAL VIRGINIA THROUGH EARLY EVENING...
Northwest to west winds are going to increase to 10 to 15 mph
today, with gusts 20 to 30 mph across the area. Higher winds
along and west of the Blue Ridge are expected. Humidity levels are
expected to drop into the low to mid 20s during the afternoon
hours. Continued drying fuels combined with these aforementioned
conditions will result in an increased danger of wildfires
spreading.
Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether
you can burn. If you do burn, use extreme caution since fires can
quickly get out of hand under these conditions.

...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER FOR EASTERN WEST VIRGINIA, NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL VIRGINIA, AND MOST OF MARYLAND THROUGH 5PM TODAY...
The combination of 10 hour fuel moistures around 10 percent
relative humidities around 25 to 35 percent, and wind gusts
around 25 to 30 mph, and up to 40 mph on exposed ridges, will lead
to an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires today. This
is also being paired with poor overnight recoveries at elevations
above 1500 feet, which may even further enhance the threat in
those areas.
Residents and visitors are urged to properly dispose of cigarette
butts, matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate
containers. Additionally, exercise caution if operating any
equipment that could create sparks and keep vehicles off of dry
grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could
easily ignite and spread fire quickly.
Lastly, remember to obey local burn bans. For more information about
wildfire danger, burn restrictions, and wildfire prevention and
education, please visit your state forestry or environmental
protection website.
