...INCREASED FIRE DANGER TOMORROW FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN AND 

SOUTH CENTRAL VIRGINIA...



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.
