…INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM NOON TO 8 PM EST TODAY…
Relative humidity is expected to decrease to the 15 to 25 percent
range across the western North Carolina and northeast Georgia by
this afternoon and early evening. Winds will increase during the
afternoon hours, with occasional gusts to around 15 to 20 mph. This
will combine with dry vegetation to increase the potential for
the start and spread of wildfires across the area.
Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities
whether you may burn outdoors. If you do burn outside, use
extreme caution.
