Special Weather Statement
Issued: 12:56 PM Jan. 15, 2026 – National Weather Service
...INCREASED FIRE DANGER IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM EST THIS MORNING THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING FOR ALL OF CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA... Although temperaures are colder today, the combination of low relative humidity values near 25 to 30 percent, ongoing dry fuels, and wind gusts of up to 25 to 30 mph, will produce an increased fire danger across central North Carolina from late morning through the early evening. Outdoor burning is discouraged. Please consult your local burn permitting authorities as to whether burning is allowed. If you must burn, use extreme caution, as fires can spread rapidly under these conditions.
