...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER FOR NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE SHENANDOAH
VALLEY INTO EASTERN WEST VIRGINIA BETWEEN NOON AND 5 PM ON FRIDAY
AFTERNOON...
The combination of 10 hour fuel moistures around 9 to 10 percent,
relative humidities around 30 to 38 percent, and winds around 15
to 20 mph, with frequent gusts to 30 mph will lead to an
increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires Friday,
especially between noon and 5 PM.
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.

...ELEVATED RISK FOR FIRE SPREAD TODAY...
There is an elevated risk for fire spread today for Delaware, the
Eastern Shore of Maryland and eastern Pennsylvania. Minimum
relative humidity values will fall into the 30-40% range. This
will be accompanied by cool and dry northwest winds of 10 to 15
mph with gusts up to 20 to 30 mph. These conditions, along with
the continued drying of fine fuels, could support the rapid spread
of any fires that ignite, which could quickly become difficult to
control. Relative humidities will begin to increase late in the
afternoon as winds will decrease toward sunset.
Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Be sure to properly
extinguish or dispose of any potential ignition sources, including
smoking materials such as cigarette butts.
This forecast considers meteorological, fuel, and land conditions
and has been developed in coordination with state fire officials.
