...INCREASED FIRE DANGER UNTIL 6 PM EST THIS EVENING...
Dead brush and leaf litter have become very dry in recent days
across much of western North Carolina due to breezy conditions
and low relative humidity. These conditions are forecast once
again today. Relative humidity will fall below 30 percent for
most of the afternoon and wind gusts may reach 20 mph at times.
These factors combined with dry vegetation will result in elevated
wildfire danger, especially this afternoon.
Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether
you can burn Tuesday. If you do burn, use extreme caution since
fires can quickly get out of hand under these conditions.

The combination relative humidity values falling to between 20
and 25 percent, and southerly winds gusting 15 to 20 mph, will
lead to an increased risk for adverse fire behavior today.
Outdoor burning is discouraged. Residents and visitors are urged
to properly dispose of cigarette butts, matches, and any other
flammable items in appropriate containers. Additionally, exercise
caution if operating any equipment that could create sparks, and
keep vehicles off of dry grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and
other tree litter could easily ignite and spread fire quickly.
