Weather Alerts Issued in Eight States as Wildfires Burn
NEWSWEEK
The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a special weather statement for several states as weather conditions are critical for a heightened wildfire risk.
Wildfires are burning across northern and central Virginia, mostly near the Shenandoah National Forest. Residents in eight states are urged to exercise caution as a dry air mass, low relative humidity and gusty winds created an enhanced wildfire risk on Thursday.
The eight states with the increased risk are Ohio, New York, New Jersey, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Maryland and Minnesota. A special weather statement for increased wildfire risk was also issued for Washington, D.C.
