Special Weather Statement issued March 3 at 9:23PM EST by NWS Blacksburg VA
Grass, brush, leaf and tree litter are very dry.
Although relative humidity will be higher Tuesday, temperatures will be warmer and winds will be stronger during the afternoon and early evening hours. Rain is not expected to develop soon enough to have an impact on fuel moisture during the warmest part of the day on Tuesday. So, in coordination with forestry officials it is still recommended to refrain from outdoor burning.
If you work with equipment that generates sparks, such as chainsaws or grinding tools, please ensure that fire suppression equipment is readily available. Properly extinguish and dispose of any smoking materials.
