The combination of low relative humidity values in the 25 to 30 percent range, dry fuels, and SW winds gusting up to around 20 mph will result in an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires across much of central and eastern Virginia, including the Richmond Metro area, the Virginia Piedmont, and the Virginia Northern Neck. Residents are urged to exercise caution handling any potential ignition source, including machinery, cigarettes, and matches. Be sure to properly discard all smoking materials. Any dry grasses and tree litter that ignite will have the potential to spread quickly. Virginia residents are reminded that open burning is prohibited before 4 PM EDT each day through April 30th. $$  180 FPKU40 NFFN 141200 NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN COOKS WEATHER BULLETIN ISSUED FROM NWFC NADI APR 141318 UTC.
