INCREASED FIRE DANGER IN EFFECT 
FROM 11 AM THIS MORNING
THROUGH THIS EVENING...

Gusty winds will return across western North Carolina and
northeast Georgia today. Gusts as high as 40 mph can be expected across the North Carolina mountains, with gusts ranging from 20 to
30 mph across northeast Georgia and the North Carolina Foothills
and Piedmont. Meanwhile, warm temperatures will combine with very
dry air to produce relative humidity values ranging from 20 to 25
percent for all but the higher elevations of the North Carolina
mountains where values of 30 to 35 percent will be more common.
The dry air and gusty winds combined with dry vegetation will
enhance the potential for fires to start and spread.
