Special Weather Statement
Issued: 9:01 PM Apr. 19, 2026 – National Weather Service
...INCREASED FIRE DANGER MONDAY... The combination of low relative humidity values in the 20 to 30 percent range, dry fuels, and gusty northwest winds will result in an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires across much of central and eastern Virginia Monday afternoon. 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.
