...INCREASED FIRE DANGER THIS AFTERNOON...
Low relative humidity values resulting from exceptionally dry weather will impose an increased risk for fire spread this
afternoon. Relative humidity values are expected to drop into the upper 30 to low 40 percent range during peak heating hours across North Central West Virginia.
Southerly wind gusts to 15-20 mph at times are expected this afternoon. Exercise enhanced caution with activities that involve open flames or sparks as fires can easily spread in these weather conditions.
