Relative humidity values between 20 and 30 percent will combine
with wind gusts of 20 to 30 mph and drying fuels to result in an
increased danger of fires burning out of control across the North
Carolina Piedmont.
People are urged to avoid outdoor burning today. 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.
Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities for whether
you may burn outdoors.
