Alert

High Fire Danger Until 7PM Today

Open Burning Discouraged 
A very dry airmass will linger across North Carolina today. With surface dewpoints dropping throughout the day and above normal temperatures persisting into the early evening, relative humidity values will fall below 30 percent. Winds will also strengthen this afternoon and gusts nearing 25 mph are probable for a few hours over most areas. Brush and other small fuels will remain quite dry, thus the risk of fire danger will be enhanced.

Instructions:

Avoid burning outdoors and use extreme caution disposing of any fireplace ash.
