...INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM 10 AM THROUGH 5 PM EST ACROSS
PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN VIRGINIA...

The combination relative humidity values falling to between 15
and 25 percent, and west-northwest winds around 10 mph with gusts
to 15 to 20 mph, will lead to an increased risk for adverse fire
behavior later this morning through the afternoon.

Outdoor burning is discouraged. 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 at dof.virginia.gov
