…INCREASED FIRE DANGER UNTIL 7 PM EDT THIS EVENING…

Dry and windy conditions will return this afternoon. Minimum
relative humidity values will range from 20 to 30 percent with
wind gusts from 15-25 mph. This, combined with dry fuels, will
result in another afternoon of increased fire danger across
western North Carolina, the South Carolina Upstate, and northeast
Georgia.

Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether
you can burn today. If you do burn, use extreme caution, as fires
can spread rapidly under these conditions.
