Special Weather Statement issued April 13 at 5:52AM EDT by NWS Wakefield VA

5:52 AM — 6:00 PM

The combination of low relative humidity values in the 25 to 30 percent range, dry fuels, and SW winds gusting up to 20-25 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, the Virginia Piedmont, and inland portions of the Virginia Northern Neck. 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.
