...INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH
FRIDAY EVENING FROM THE MOUNTAINS EASTWARD...

Dry air will be in place across the region again on Friday as high
pressure settles over the Deep South. The relative humidity is
expected to drop down into the 15-25% range by the afternoon from
the spine of the Appalachians eastward. Although winds will be
much lighter than Thursday, the low relative humidity and dry
fuels will increase the fire danger across the area.

Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities whether
you may burn outdoors. If you do burn outside, use extreme
caution. Note! The South Carolina Forestry Commission has issued
a statewide burn ban, effective until further notice. The
Commission plans to reevaluate conditions Sunday. The alert is
being issued to strongly discourage people from burning outdoors
when weather conditions present an elevated risk of wildfire.
