Special Weather Statement issued December 5 at 1:43AM EST by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC

Following the passage of a dry cold front later this morning,
relative humidity will fall into the low 30s and even upper 20s in
some locations across the North Carolina Piedmont and Foothills this
afternoon. Winds will be gusty along and behind the front, so
conditions will be conducive meteorologically for the quick
formation and spread of fires. Fine fuel moisture is expected to dry
out quickly during the late morning and early afternoon.

Based upon coordination with local land managers and forestry
officials, a Fire Danger Statement is in effect for NC Forest
Service Districts 2 and 10. Consult your local burn-permitting
authority to determine whether you may burn outdoors. If you do
burn, exercise extreme caution.
