Special Weather Statement issued March 29 at 1:56AM EDT by NWS Charleston WV
A combination of dry vegetation, relative humidity lowering to around 15 to 25% and winds gusting to around 15 to 25 mph will result in increased fire danger today. 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. West Virginia law prohibits burning in the spring from 7AM to 5PM...March 1st through May 31st.
