Lewisville, NC Severe Weather Alertstar_ratehome

...INCREASED FIRE DANGER IN EFFECT FROM 3 PM EDT TO 10 PM EDT ON
MONDAY DUE TO A COMBINATION OF BREEZY POST-FRONTAL WINDS AND LOW
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES...

The combination of dry fine fuels, relative humidities around 25
to 30 percent, northerly wind gusts around 20 to 25 mph, and warm
temperatures will lead to an increased risk for the rapid spread
of wildfires on Monday across the Piedmont and Sandhills of
central North Carolina.

Residents and visitors are urged to properly dispose of cigarette
butts, matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate
containers. Additionally, exercise caution if operating any
equipment that could create sparks and keep vehicles off of dry
grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could
easily ignite and spread fire quickly.

Lastly, remember to obey local burn bans. For more information about
wildfire danger, burn restrictions, and wildfire prevention and
education, please visit the North Carolina forestry or environmental
protection website.
