...INCREASED FIRE DANGER SATURDAY...

The combination of dry fuels, gusty southwest to west winds, and
low relative humidity of about 20-30% in the afternoon into the
evening will lead to an increased risk for the rapid spread of
wildfires.

Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily
ignite and spread fire quickly.

A statewide burn ban issued by the North Carolina Forest Service is
currently in place. Open burning of any kind is illegal.
