Special Weather Statement issued March 12 at 4:37AM EDT by NWS Blacksburg VA
The combination of southwest winds gusting up to 15 MPH, relative humidity falling to 15 to 20 percent, and drying fine fuels today will lead to an elevated threat for rapid fire spread.
Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether you may burn outdoors. If you do burn, use extreme caution since fires can increasingly escalate under these conditions.
