...INCREASED FIRE DANGER THIS AFTERNOON...



The combination of relative humidity values between 25 and 35 

percent, south to southwest winds gusting up to 20 mph and low 

fuel moistures values will increase the potential for wildfires

to spread quickly this afternoon. 



Residents are urged to exercise caution handling any potential

ignition source...including machinery... cigarettes...and matches.

Be sure to properly discard all smoking materials. Any dry grasses

and tree litter that ignite will have the potential to spread

quickly.



Virginia residents are reminded that open burning is prohibited 

before 4 pm each day through April 30th.
