Full Notification

Another very dry day is expected again today with minimum relative humidity of 20 to 25 percent possible in the afternoon. While winds are expected to be light and temperatures still on the cool side of normal, dry vegetation due to lack of recent rainfall combined with the dry air will once again result in increased wildfire danger in northeast Georgia, Upstate South Carolina and western North Carolina. Across Upstate South Carolina, an outdoor burning ban from the South Carolina Forestry Commission remains in effect. A State Forester's Burning Ban prohibits all outdoor burning, including yard debris burning, prescribed burning, and campfires in all unincorporated areas of the state. The burning ban will stay in effect until further notice.
