...INCREASED FIRE DANGER TODAY ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND NORTH
CENTRAL VIRGINIA AND THE CENTRAL SHENANDOAH VALLEY...

Relative humidities will drop to around 20 to 35 percent this
afternoon. Sustained west to northwest winds of 15 to 25 mph,
with gusts to 30 to 45 mph are expected. Locally higher winds are
possible over and near higher terrain. 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
dof.virginia.gov.
