Enhanced Fire Danger Expected Tuesday

A dry cold front will move through the area Tuesday, resulting in strong northwest winds in the range of 15-25 mph. The strong winds will combine with low relative humidity values to produce a potentially high fire threat across central Virginia Tuesday afternoon and early evening. Cooler temperatures and lighter winds will lessen the threat for wildfires on Wednesday.
