FIRE!

so this was kind of strange - I got this message from AlertDC, in ALL CAPS:

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA FROM 10 AM EST THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS EVENING. A FIRE WEATHER WATCH MEANS THAT CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO OCCUR.

Sounds bizarrely dire. So I guess watch out for forest fires in Meridian Hill Park, and don't burn your leaves in your front lawn, or something.
