...ELEVATED RISK OF FIRE SPREAD...

Increasing northwest winds and drying low levels will create
conditions more conducive for fire spread today into early this
evening.

Relative humidity is expected to decrease to near 25 to 30 percent
this afternoon into early this evening, while wind gusts increase
to 35 to 45 mph. An isolated gust to 50 mph will be possible.
These conditions would likely aid fire spread if ignition occurs.

Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged, and residents are urged
to exercise caution if handling any potential ignition sources,
such as machinery, cigarettes, or matches. The annual statewide
burn ban is in effect until May 14. No burn permits are issued.

...ELEVATED THREAT FOR RAPID FIRE SPREAD 10AM TO 7PM TODAY..

The combination of low humidity and gusty northwest winds will

spread through this afternoon.

Relative humidity values will drop 20 to 25 percent across most of
the area this afternoon, with values of 15 to 20 percent in the lee
of the Alleghenies and Shenandoah Valley. Northwest winds around
10 to 20 mph will gust between 30 to 40 mph. For the ridges,
higher gusts up to 50 mph are expected. Temperatures this
afternoon reach into the upper 50s and low 60s.

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.
