...INCREASED FIRE DANGER FOR MUCH OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA
TODAY...

The combination of dry fuels, southwest winds around 15 mph with
gusts around 25 mph, and relative humidity values dropping to
around 25 percent will result in increased fire danger threat for
much of eastern North Carolina today.

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.
