...INCREASED FIRE DANGER IN EFFECT FROM LATE THIS MORNING THROUGH
EARLY THIS EVENING...

The combination of westerly winds of 15 mph, with gusts to 20 to
25 mph, relative humidity levels between 25 and 30 percent, and
dry fuels will lead to increased fire danger across most of
central and southern Virginia today, from 11 am to 7 pm. Outdoor
burning is strongly discouraged.

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.
