Special Weather Statement issued April 22 at 3:13AM EDT by NWS Blacksburg VA
Effective: Wed April 22, 2026, 3:13 AM
Expires: Wed April 22, 2026, 12:00 PM
The combination of low relative humidity in the 20 to 25 percent range, ongoing drought conditions, and gusty winds will continue to dry out fuels. This will result in an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires today. Any dry grass, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily ignite and spread fire quickly. 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 leaves and grass. Virginia has a 4PM to Midnight burn window, but on days when it is this breezy, it is advised to wait for a wind-free evening to do any burning. Some Virginia counties have already started issuing burn bans, so please check with your local county officials if you are not sure.

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.
