Special Weather Statement

Special Weather Statement issued March 29 at 6:06AM EDT by NWS Baltimore MD/Washington DC

Dry and windy conditions are expected this afternoon between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains. Relative humidity values are expected to drop to as low as 20 to 25 percent in 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 fine fuels. Residents and visitors are urged to exercise caution if handling 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. For more information about wildfire danger, burn restrictions, and wildfire prevention and education, please visit your state's forestry or environmental protection website.
