Increased fire danger on Wednesday 1/29/25; Outdoor burning is not recommended. 
INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...
The combination of wind gusts in the 25 to 35 mph range, relative
humidity values in the 20 to 30 percent, and dry fuel moisture
levels will lead to increased fire danger on Wednesday. These
conditions will develop over the North Carolina foothills and
Piedmont and much of the mountains. Conditions should improve by
evening as winds begin to taper off and relative humidity values
begin to recover.
Please postpone all outdoor burning on Wednesday.
