...INCREASED FIRE DANGER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

A dry air mass moves into the area behind a departing cold front
today. With warm temperatures remaining in place, relative
humidity values will drop into the 20 to 25 percent range across
the North Carolina foothills and Piedmont. Northwest wind gusts to
around 25 mph will continue into the afternoon as well. The
combination of low relative humidity and gusty winds will lead to
Increased Fire Danger across these areas this afternoon and

you can burn today. If you do burn, use extreme caution since
fires can quickly get out of hand under these conditions.
