# HEADLINE -------------------- ELEVATED FIRE DANGER FOR WESTERN MARYLAND, EASTERN WEST VIRGINIA, NORTHERN, CENTRAL AND WESTERN VIRGINIA TODAY # SUMMARY -------------------- The combination of 10 hour fuel moistures of 8 to 10 percent, relative humidity around 25 percent, and wind gusts of 30 to 35 mph will lead to an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires this afternoon. 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 grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily ignite and spread fire quickly. Lastly, remember to obey local burn bans.

Pollen Index: 10.8 Pollen Level: high Predominant Pollen: Maple, Cedar/Juniper and Ash. The quantity of pollen grains in the air for Wednesday will be falling but will remain in the high range. This lowering of pollen concentrations is a result of rising humidity, weakening winds and expected precipitation in the afternoon and evening which tends to wash pollen out of the air.
