...INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM 10 AM THROUGH 5 PM EST ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN VIRGINIA... The combination relative humidity values falling to between 20 and 30 percent, and west-northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph with gusts to around 20 mph, will lead to an increased risk for adverse fire behavior later this morning through the afternoon. Outdoor burning is discouraged. 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 grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily ignite and spread fire quickly. Lastly, remember to obey local burn bans.
