...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY EVENING...

Elevated fire weather conditions are expected Tuesday across most
of Maryland, eastern West Virginia, and Virginia.

Relative humidity values are expected to drop back to around 20 to
25 percent Tuesday afternoon, with some areas possibly seeing
relative humidity values below 20 percent for a couple of hours.
West winds gust 15 to 20 mph in the valleys, and 20 to 25 mph on
the eastern slopes of the mountains. Gusts could occasionally be
close to 30 mph. This will result in the continued drying of fine
fuels.

Residents and visitors are urged to exercise caution if handling
open flames or equipment that creates sparks. Also, dispose of
cigarette butts, matches, and other flammable items in appropriate
containers. Keep vehicles off of dry grass and obey local burn bans.
Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily
ignite and spread fire quickly.

For more information about wildfire danger, burn restrictions,
and wildfire prevention and education, please visit your state`s
forestry or environmental protection website.
