Wildfire activity is quiet across West Virginia with no active wildfires reported.
Conditions and Outlook
No fire weather watches or red flag warnings are in effect, and significant fire potential remains at the lowest levels statewide. A slow-moving weather system brings widespread rain showers through Friday night, followed by cooler weekend temperatures and gusty winds.
Burn Bans and Land Management
Statewide statutory fall fire season restrictions remain in effect through December 31, banning open burning between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. The U.S. Forest Service has scheduled prescribed burns across Tucker and Pocahontas counties in the Monongahela National Forest through mid-November.
