High fire danger continues due to extremely dry conditions, low humidity, and gusty winds. Postpone all outdoor burning. 
INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM 11 AM EST THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...
Dead brush and leaf litter have become very dry in recent days
across much of western North Carolina due to breezy conditions
and low relative humidity. These conditions are forecast once
again on Tuesday. Relative humidity will fall below 30 percent for
most of the afternoon and wind gusts may reach 20 mph at times.
These factors combined with dry vegetation will result in elevated
wildfire danger, especially this afternoon.
Postpone all outdoor burning.
