...INCREASED FIRE DANGER IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM TO 7 PM SATURDAY...

Increased threat for wildfires will result across the Coastal
Plain of Eastern NC on Saturday. West winds will gust over 25
mph, along with afternoon relative humidities as low as 25
percent. These factors will combine with the lack of recent
appreciable rainfall to produce the increased threat for
wildfires.

Outdoor burning 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.
