A strong cold front passing through eastern NC tonight will bring
in cool dry air and gusty northwest winds up to 25-30 mph in its
wake tomorrow afternoon. Combined with relative humidities around
or slightly below 30%, conditions are conducive for the formation
and spread of fires over a region that has received below average
rainfall.
Outdoor burning is discouraged. Please refer to your local burn
permitting authority on whether you can burn. If you do burn, use
extreme caution and ensure fire suppression equipment is readily
available.
