...INCREASED FIRE DANGER IN EFFECT TODAY ACROSS PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA FROM 1200 PM THROUGH 800 PM...

Very dry fine fuels and low afternoon relative humidities will
promote an increased fire danger across the western and central
Piedmont and portions of the Sandhills through this evening.
Winds will increase during the afternoon hours, with occasional
gusts to around 15 to 20 mph.

People are urged to avoid outdoor burning through Tuesday. 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.
