...INCREASED FIRE DANGER TODAY THROUGHOUT CENTRAL NORTH
CAROLINA...

A combination of very dry air, with minimum relative humidity of
15 to 25 percent, and west southwesterly winds that will gust up
to 30 mph, will increase the risk of wildfires and fire spread
today.

Dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily
ignite and spread fire quickly. 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 leaves and grass.

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