...INCREASED FIRE DANGER POTENTIAL TODAY FOR EASTERN NC...

There will be an increased threat for wildfires across most of
Eastern NC today until around sunset. The combination of strong
westerly wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph, relative humidity values
of 20 to 25 percent this afternoon, and dry ground fuels will
allow any fires to quickly spread with erratic fire behavior
possible.

Outdoor burning today is discouraged. Please refer to your local
burn permitting authority on whether you can burn. If you do burn,
use extreme caution and ensure fire suppression equipment is
readily available.
