Special Weather Statement issued April 15 at 2:00AM EDT by NWS Blacksburg VA

Effective: Wed April 15, 2026, 2:00 AM
Expires: Wed April 15, 2026, 4:00 AM

Increased fire danger conditions exist today due to the combination of low relative humidity values in the 20 to 30 percent range, dry fuels, and gusty southwest winds. This will result in an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires through this evening. Residents and visitors 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. A statewide burn ban is also in effect for North Carolina.

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.
