Declaración de clima especial
Central and Southeast Prince William County/Manassas/Manassas Park, VA
...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER TODAY ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL VIRGINIA, AND SOUTHERN MARYLAND...
Elevated potential for the rapid spread of fire is expected this
afternoon to early evening due to the combination of dry
conditions and gusty winds. Relative humidity values drop to around
25 to 35 percent, along with sustained northwesterly around 10 to
15 mph and gusts to 20 to 25 mph. This will result in the rapid
drying of fine fuels like grass, leaves, and small shrubs.
Residents and visitors are urged to exercise caution if handling
open flames or equipment that create 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 a fire quickly.
