Special Weather Statement issued April 4 at 8:46AM EDT by NWS Baltimore MD/Washington DC
Northwest winds will be sustained around 10 to 15 mph with frequent gusts around 20 to 25 mph and the relative humidity will fall to be between 20 and 30 percent. The gusty winds combined with the low humidity and dry fine fuels will enhance the threat for the spread of wildfires, especially 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.
