...INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM 11 AM TO 5 PM TODAY FOR SOUTHERN VIRGINIA...SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 460...

The combination of low relative humidity in the 20 to 25 percent
range, ongoing drought conditions, and gusty winds will continue
to dry out fuels. This will result in an increased risk for the
rapid spread of wildfires today.

Any dry grass, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily
ignite and spread fire quickly. Residents and visitors are urged
to properly dispose of cigarette butts, matches, and any other
flammable items in appropriate containers. Additionally, exercise
caution if operating any equipment that could create sparks, and
keep vehicles off of dry leaves and grass.

Virginia has a 4PM to Midnight burn window, but on days when it
is this breezy, it is advised to wait for a wind-free evening to
do any burning. Some Virginia counties have already started
issuing burn bans, so please check with your local county
officials if you are not sure.
