Special Weather Statement issued November 17 at 2:04AM EST by NWS Wakefield VA

Effective: Mon November 17, 2025, 2:04 AM
Expires: Mon November 17, 2025, 5:00 PM

The combination relative humidity values falling to between 15 and 25 percent, and west-northwest winds around 10 mph with gusts to 15 to 20 mph, will lead to an increased risk for adverse fire behavior later this morning through the afternoon. Outdoor burning is discouraged. 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 at dof.virginia.gov

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
