Special Weather Statement issued March 21 at 8:20AM EDT by NWS Blacksburg VA
Relative humidity values of 15 to 30 percent will combine with wind gusts of 15 to 30 mph and dry fuels to result in an increased danger of fires burning out of control today through this evening across northwest North Carolina and the mountains of southwest Virginia. This is mainly where little to no rainfall fell on Thursday.
People are urged to avoid outdoor burning today. If you must burn, use extreme caution since fires can grow quickly and become dangerous in these conditions. Ensure that fire suppression equipment is readily available. Properly extinguish and dispose of any smoking materials.
Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities whether you may burn outdoors.
