Excerpted from the National Weather Service:
…ELEVATED THREAT FOR THE SPREAD OF FIRES FROM LATE MORNING THROUGH EARLY EVENING FOR NORTHWEST VIRGINIA…EASTERN WEST VIRGINIA…AND NORTH-CENTRAL AND WESTERN MARYLAND…
The combination of west winds gusting 15 to 25 mph, relative humidity falling to 20 to 30 percent, and drying fine fuels today will lead to an elevated threat for rapid fire spread. Locally higher wind gusts are possible along the ridges.
Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether you may burn outdoors. If you do burn, use extreme caution since fires can increasingly escalate under these conditions.
