Expires: Tue May 5, 2026, 4:00 AM

The combination of lower relative humidity values in the 25-30 percent range, dry fuels, and SW winds gusting to 20-25 mph will result in an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires Tuesday across western and south central Virginia. 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.

The combination of 10 hour fuel moistures of 8 to 10 percent, relative humidities around 25 percent, and wind gusts of 30 to 35 mph will lead to an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires. 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.
