Increased fire danger Sunday

INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING...Despite below normal temperatures across the North Carolina Mountains on Sunday, a very dry air mass will be in place. Expect relative humidity values to drop to as low as 20 percent across many valley locations, with values around 25 percent in the higher elevations. Windy conditions are expected to develop with northwest winds 15 to 20 mph and gusts to 30 mph common across much of the area. The combination of low humidity and breezy conditions will lead to increased fire danger during the afternoon and early evening.

Instructions:

Avoid open burning. Dispose of stove ashes properly. Property maintenance.
