Here is a Special Weather Statement from the National Weather Service...
Here is a Fire Danger Statement issued in coordination with the West Virginia division of forestry...
With recent warmer days and dry weather... fire danger has reached moderate to high across West Virginia... especially at lower elevations. Some lowland locations in southern West Virginia have even reached very high fire danger. Warm temperatures will again combine with very low relative humidity levels this afternoon to further enhance the danger.
Outside of higher elevations that still have melting snow... open burning of any type is considered very hazardous at this time. Accidental escaped debris Burns are by far the number one cause of wildfires in West Virginia. Also... be careful with heat and Sparks while operating any equipment... or smoking in wildland areas.
West Virginia state law prohibits debris burning from 7 am to 4 PM during the months of March... April... and may.
