Special Weather Statement issued April 14 at 8:10PM EDT by NWS Wakefield VA

Effective: Tue April 14, 2026, 8:10 PM
Expires: Wed April 15, 2026, 7:00 AM

The combination of low relative humidity values in the 25 to 30 percent range, dry fuels, and SW winds gusting up to around 20 mph will result in an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires across much of central and eastern Virginia, including the Richmond metro area. In addition, this statement also includes Northampton County, North Carolina. 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. Virginia residents are reminded that open burning is prohibited before 4 PM EDT each day through April 30th. A statewide burn ban issued by the North Carolina Forest Service is currently in place. Open burning of any kind is illegal.

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.
