…ENHANCED THREAT FOR THE SPREAD OF WILDFIRES THIS AFTERNOON…
Minimum relative humidity will drop to between 25 and 30 percent
across portions of northern and central Virginia while west to
northwest winds gust frequently between 25 and 35 mph. The
strongest winds will coincide with the lowest humidity during the
mid to late afternoon hours.
Fuel moisture will dry out during this time. The combination of
low fuel moisture, low relative humidity, and gusty winds will
enhance the threat for the spread of wildfires.
Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged during this time. Please
refer to your local burn permitting authority on whether you can
burn. If you do burn, use extreme caution and ensure fire
suppression is readily available.
