Relative humidities will drop to around 25 to 35 percent this
afternoon. Sustained west to northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph,
with gusts to 20 to 30 mph are expected. Due to dry conditions
from the lack of recent precipitation, there is an increased risk
for the spread of wildfires. Fuel moistures of 10 to 15 percent
can be expected.
Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities whether
you may burn outdoors. If you do burn outside, use extreme
caution. For Virginia, burning information can be found at
