ENHANCED DANGER OF WILDFIRES THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING

A dry air mass will remain in place over the region today.
Weather conditions are favorable for wildfire potential to spread
quickly in the North Carolina mountains and the northern Upstate
of South Carolina. Dry vegetation, leaf litter, warm
temperatures, and critical relative humidity levels from 15 to 25
percent are expected this afternoon.

Any fires that develop may spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not
recommended. Please refer to your local burn permitting
authorities on whether you can burn. If you do burn, use extreme
caution since fires can quickly get out of hand under these
conditions.
