...INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM 11 AM EDT THIS MORNING
THROUGH THIS EVENING...

Dry air will be in place across the region today as high pressure
settles over the Deep South. The relative humidity is expected to
drop down into the 10-20 percent range this afternoon across all
of the area except the higher elevations along the Tennessee
border. Although winds will be much lighter than Thursday, the
low relative humidity and dry fuels will cause increased fire
danger.

Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether
you can burn today. In fact, burning is strongly discouraged
across the Upstate. If you do burn, use extreme caution since
fires can quickly get out of hand under these conditions.
