...INCREASED FIRE DANGER ACROSS MUCH OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA FROM
11 AM EDT THIS MORNING THROUGH 8 PM THIS EVENING...

Brush and leaf litter are very dry in all but the northern mountains
of North Carolina, where fuel moisture values are higher due to
recent rainfall. Relative humidity will fall to around 30 percent
in the mountains and below 25 percent in the foothills and
Piedmont this afternoon. Wind gusts up to 35 mph can be expected
across the mountains, with wind gusts up to 25 mph across the
foothills and Piedmont. Given these conditions, outdoor fires
will be able to spread quickly once started, increasing the danger
of wildfires.

A statewide burn ban remains in effect until further notice for
North Carolina. Open burning of any kind is illegal.
