...Increased Risk of Wildfires Today...

Minimum relative humidity between 19 and 30 percent combined with
southwest winds of 10 to 15 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph, will
lead to an increased risk of wildfires today.

Remember that under KY law, it is illegal to burn within 150 feet
of any woodland or brushland between 6 AM and 6 PM during the
Spring Fire Season that runs through April 30th.

West Virginia law prohibits burning in the spring from 7AM to
5PM...March 1st through May 31st.
