Special Weather Statement issued March 29 at 2:53AM EDT by NWS Blacksburg VA

Effective: Sun March 29, 2026, 2:53 AM
Expires: Sun March 29, 2026, 8:00 PM

The combination of afternoon relative humidity values between 17 and 25 percent, winds gusting between 15 mph and 25 mph, and very dry fuels will lead to an increased risk for wildfires throughout much of Virginia and southeast West Virginia today. 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. Please 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.
