Virginia and Eastern West Virginia face elevated fire danger due to dry and windy conditions until 9 PM.
Due to dry and windy conditions following a cold front, Virginia and Eastern West Virginia face elevated fire danger until 9 PM tonight. Relative humidity values may drop to 20-25%, with northwest winds of 15-20 mph and gusts up to 25-30 mph, especially at higher elevations. This rapid drying of fine fuels increases the risk of fires. Authorities urge residents and visitors to exercise caution with open flames, dispose of flammable items properly, and avoid driving on dry grass. Visit local forestry or environmental protection websites for more information on wildfire danger and prevention measures.
