Full Notification

Relative humidity will remain higher today across western North Carolina than on the previous few afternoons. However, fine wildland fuels such as forest litter and small dead branches remain exceptionally dry. The danger of wildfires remains elevated. Any outdoor fires that are started could spread quickly and be difficult to control. North Carolina remains under a statewide burn ban.
