INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM THROUGH 5 PM TODAY FOR SOUTHERN VIRGINIA
The combination of low relative humidity in the 20 to 30 percent
range, ongoing drought conditions, and gusty winds will continue
to dry out fuels. This will result in an increased risk for the
rapid spread of wildfires today.
Any dry grass, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily
ignite and spread fire quickly. Residents and visitors are urged
to properly dispose of cigarette butts, matches, and any other
flammable items in appropriate containers. Additionally, exercise
caution if operating any equipment that could create sparks, and
keep vehicles off of dry leaves and grass.
Virginia has a 4 PM to Midnight burn window, but on days when it
is this breezy, it is advised to wait for a wind-free evening to
do any burning. Some Virginia counties have already started
issuing burn bans, so please check with your local county
officials if you are not sure.

KILAUEA EPISODE 45 PRECURSORY ACTIVITY STARTED LAST NIGHT
What:
An episodic fountaining eruption is expected within
the Kilauea summit caldera. The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory has
indicated a potential eruption window between today, April 21 and
Sunday, April 26, with tomorrow, April 22, or Thursday, April 23,
most likely. Fountaining episodes typically last less than 12
hours but ash can remain in the air longer depending on wind and
weather.

Impacts:
If an eruption occurs, varying levels of ash, Pele's
hair, and other lightweight tephra may fall downwind of the
