...INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM LATE MORNING THROUGH EARLY EVENING
FOR SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA...AND ALONG AND WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE
IN VIRGINIA...

The combination of west winds gusting 15 to 20 mph, relative
humidity falling to 20 to 30 percent, and drying fine fuels today
will lead to an elevated threat for rapid fire spread. Locally
higher wind gusts are possible along the ridges.

Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether
you may burn outdoors. If you do burn, use extreme caution since
fires can increasingly escalate under these conditions.
