Special Weather Statement issued March 21 at 8:20AM EDT by NWS Blacksburg VA

Effective: Fri March 21, 2025, 8:20 AM
Expires: Fri March 21, 2025, 7:00 PM

Relative humidity values of 15 to 30 percent will combine with wind gusts of 15 to 30 mph and dry fuels to result in an increased danger of fires burning out of control today through this evening across northwest North Carolina and the mountains of southwest Virginia. This is mainly where little to no rainfall fell on Thursday. People are urged to avoid outdoor burning today. If you must burn, use extreme caution since fires can grow quickly and become dangerous in these conditions. Ensure that fire suppression equipment is readily available. Properly extinguish and dispose of any smoking materials. Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities whether you may burn outdoors.

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.
