Special Weather Statement issued April 19 at 5:33PM EDT by NWS Baltimore MD/Washington DC
Event: Special Weather Statement
Message Type: Alert
Urgency: Expected
Severity: Moderate
Certainty: Observed
Affected Area: Augusta; Rockingham; Page; Nelson; Albemarle; Greene; Madison; Rappahannock; Orange; Culpeper; Stafford; Spotsylvania; King George; Southern Fauquier; Western Highland; Eastern Highland; Northern Virginia Blue Ridge; Central Virginia Blue Ridge
Wheather Alert Summary: The combination of 10 hour fuel moistures around 10 to 12 percent
relative humidities around 20 to 25 percent, and frequent wind
gusts around 20 to 25 mph will lead to an increased risk for the
rapid spread of wildfires on monday. even with some light rainfall
today, there was adequate sun and gusty winds this afternoon to
rapidly dry fuels once again ahead of monday. further expansion
north may be needed in the future, but uncertainty with
cloudcover, along with about twice as much rainfall, may make
things a bit less favorable north of this statement. an updated
will be issued early monday morning.
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.
lastly, 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.
