...INCREASED FIRE DANGER FOR WESTERN PORTIONS OF CENTRAL NORTH
CAROLINA THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY EVENING...

The combination of anomalously warm temperatures, low relative
humidity between 30 and 35 percent, dry fuels, and southwesterly
gusts of 15-25 mph will result in an increased fire danger risk
over the western Piedmont, western Sandhills, and portions of the
northeastern Piedmont.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A statewide ban on all open burning remains in effect until
further notice, and all burning permits have been cancelled.
Residents with questions can contact their NC Forest Service
county ranger or their county fire marshal`s office.
