New River, Roanoke, and Shenandoah Valleys. Relative humidity
values are expected to drop under 30 percent associated with
strong northwest winds of around 15 to 25 mph, with gusts of 30 to
50 mph. This will result in the continued rapid drying of leaf
litter and other forest fuels.

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.
