...INCREASED FIRE DANGER MONDAY...

The combination of low relative humidity values in the 20 to 30
percent range, dry fuels, and gusty northwest winds will result
in an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires across much
of northeast North Carolina Monday afternoon.

Residents are urged to exercise caution handling any potential
ignition source, including machinery, cigarettes, and matches. Be
sure to properly discard all smoking materials. Any dry grasses
and tree litter that ignite will have the potential to spread
quickly.

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