Special Weather Statement issued March 11 at 5:11AM EDT by NWS Blacksburg VA The combination of west winds gusting 15 to 20 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.
