...INCREASED FIRE DANGER ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, FROM 11 AM to
6 PM EST ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA...

The combination relative humidity values falling to between 20
and 25 percent, and southerly winds gusting to 20 mph, will lead
to an increased risk for adverse fire behavior on Tuesday.

Outdoor burning is discouraged. 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.
