Special Weather Statement
Issued by the National Weather Service at 8:12 am EDT on March 20, 2010


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.
