...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...
Elevated fire danger conditions will develop late this morning
and continue through early evening as high pressure keeps dry air
over the area. Minimum relative humidity values expected to drop
to around 25 percent with wind gusts around 25 mph. The
combination of the low relative humidity, gusty winds, and drying
fuels will lead to elevated fire danger conditions this afternoon
and evening.
Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether
you can burn today. If you do burn, you are advised to use
extreme caution.

Gusty winds and low relative humidity will develop this afternoon
across the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia. With little
to no rainfall across the area the past several days, small fuels
and brush will remain very dry and easily combustible. All of
these conditions will lead to an increased risk of wildfires into
the evening hours.
Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether
you can burn today. If you do burn, use extreme caution since
fires can quickly get out of hand under these conditions.
