...INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM 11 AM TO 5 PM TODAY FOR SOUTHERN AND SOUTHEAST VIRGINIA...

The combination of low relative humidity values in the 20 to 30
percent range, dry fuels, and gusty southwest winds will result
in an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires across much
of southern and southeast Virginia through late 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.
