...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER FOR MUCH OF MARYLAND...CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN VIRGINIA...AND EASTERN WEST VIRGINIA...
The combination of drying fine fuels, relative humidities around
20 to 30 percent, and wind gusts around 20 to 25 mph will lead to
an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires today.
Following modest early morning relative humidity recovery, the
conditions most conducive to fire spread are expected from late
morning through early evening (roughly 10 AM to 8 PM EDT).
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. For more information about
wildfire danger, burn restrictions, and wildfire prevention and
education, please visit your state forestry or environmental
protection website.
