Low afternoon relative humidity values between 15 and 25 percent,
combined with south southwesterly winds that will increase to
between 15 and 25 mph in occasional gusts this afternoon, will
yield increased fire danger across the southern and western
Piedmont and western Sandhills of North Carolina.
Outdoor burning should be postponed if possible. If you must
burn, use extreme caution since fires can grow quickly and become
dangerous in these conditions. Ensure that fire suppression
equipment is readily available. Properly extinguish and dispose of
any smoking materials.
