STERLING VA:  (NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE) – Elevated fire conditions are expected
due to dry conditions and gusty winds. Relative humidity values around 30 percent are expected
along with sustained north westerly winds of 15 to 20 mph and gusts 25 to 30 mph.
This will result in the 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.

and wildfire prevention and education, please visit your state`s
forestry or environmental protection website.
