Southeast winds will continue to increase through mid-afternoon
across the area, with wind gusts of 22 to 32 mph likely. With low
humidity and very dry vegetation, elevated fire danger will occur
this afternoon. Potential exists for near critical conditions
mainly east of the James River.

Planned burning should be avoided and extra caution should be
given to any outdoor activity that may spark a fire. Any fire that
does form may have the potential to spread quickly.
