Special Weather Statement issued March 26 at 3:48AM EDT by NWS Wakefield VA

The combination of drying fuels, northwesterly winds around 15
mph with gusts around 25 mph, and relative humidity values
dropping into the lower 20s will result in an increased fire
danger across northeast North Carolina.

The North Carolina Forest Service has issued a statewide ban on
all open burning and has cancelled all burning permits until
further notice. The NC Forest Service will continue to monitor
conditions. Residents with questions can contact their NC Forest
Service county ranger or their county fire marshal’s office.
