...INCREASED FIRE DANGER IN EFFECT TODAY FROM 11 AM UNTIL 6 PM...

Although recent rains have led to some increased soil moisture,
abnormally dry conditions are still present over portions of the
Piedmont. With the combination of low relative humidity dropping
into the 30 to 35 percent range and gusty southwest winds of 20
to 30 mph, an Increased Fire Danger statement has been issued for
the Piedmont. This is in effect today from 11 am to 6 pm. These
weather conditions will result in elevated fire potential and a
threat of adverse fire behavior.

Please consult your local burn permitting authorities as to whether
burning is allowed today. If you must burn, use extreme caution,
as fires can spread rapidly under these conditions.
