Special Weather Statement issued March 23 at 3:50AM EDT by NWS Charleston WV
The combination of low relative humidity and gusty winds will create an increased risk for fire start and spread this afternoon and evening.
Today, we can expect relative humidity values as low as 20 to 30 percent, along with southeasterly to southerly winds of 10 to 15 mph with gusts of 20 to 25 mph in the afternoon. Higher wind gusts are likely along the ridges.
These conditions could lead to the rapid spread of any fires that do occur. Consult your local burn permitting authorities on whether you may burn outdoors today. Virginia law prohibits burning in the spring from midnight to 4PM...February 15th through April 30th.
