...INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM NOON EDT TODAY THROUGH THIS
EVENING...

Dry and very gusty conditions are expected to develop this
afternoon. Relative humidity values will drop below 30%, and
possibly below 25%, across the low terrain and mountain valleys,
alongside gusts to around 30 mph. Fine fuel moisture remains very
dry after only light rainfall on Monday, and these conditions
will enhance the fire danger across the area this afternoon. The
strongest winds and driest conditions are expected across the
foothills and portions of the adjacent mountains, where a Red
Flag Warning is in effect.

A statewide outdoor burn ban remains in place for both North
Carolina and South Carolina. For northeast Georgia, consult your
local burn-permitting authority on whether or not you may burn
outdoors. If you do burn, exercise extreme caution.
