...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER FOR NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE
SHENANDOAH VALLEY AND AREAS TO THE SOUTH OF I-66 AND ALONG AND
WEST OF I-95 IN VIRGINIA BETWEEN 11AM AND 5PM TODAY...

The combination of 10 hour fuel moistures around 10 to 15
percent relative humidities around 24 to 30 percent, and wind
gusts around 15 to 25 mph will lead to an increased risk for the
rapid spread of wildfires today, especially between 11am and 5pm.

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.
