...Increased Fire Danger Today For Portions of Central and
Eastern Virginia from 10 AM to 6 PM EDT Monday...
The combination of low relative humidity values in the 25 to 30
percent range, dry fuels, and SW winds gusting up to 20-25 mph
will result in an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires
Monday across much of central and eastern Virginia, including the
Richmond Metro area, the Virginia Piedmont, and inland portions
of the Virginia Northern Neck.
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 EDT each day through April 30th.

...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER FOR MUCH OF CENTRAL AND NORTHERN VIRGINIA,
AS WELL AS SOUTH-CENTRAL MARYLAND ON MONDAY APRIL 13TH...
The combination of 10 hour fuel moistures around 8 to 10 percent
relative humidities around 30 to 39 percent, and wind gusts
around 20 to 25 mph will lead to an increased risk for the rapid
spread of wildfires on Monday.
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.

...ELEVATED RISK OF WILDFIRE SPREAD LATE THIS MORNING THROUGH
EARLY THIS EVENING...
The combination of drying fine fuels and leaf litter, low
relative humidity of around 35 percent and a southerly wind
gusting between 20 and 25 mph during the late morning and
afternoon hours, will create an elevated risk of wildfire spread
across the southern half of Pennsylvania today.
Residents are urged to exercise caution if handling any potential
ignition sources, such as machinery, cigarettes, or matches. If
dry grasses and tree litter begin to burn, the fire will have the
potential to spread rapidly.

prevention and education, please visit the Pennsylvania Department
