A VERY DRY AIR MASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION
MONDAY.
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES ARE EXPECTED TO DROP TO LESS THAN 30
PERCENT IN MANY VIRGINIA COUNTIES FOR SEVERAL HOURS MONDAY AFTERNOON. THE LOW
HUMIDITIES, COMBINED WITH DRY FUELS, WILL RESULT IN ELEVATED FIRE DANGER
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
RESIDENTS ARE URGED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF STARTING WILDFIRES
BY DISPOSING OF SMOKING MATERIALS PROPERLY. BURNING OF LEAVES OR LITTER IS
STRONGLY DISCOURAGED. IF YOU DO BURN, USE EXTREME CAUTION SINCE FIRES CAN
QUICKLY GROW OUT OF CONTROL UNDER THESE CONDITIONS.
