Special Weather Statement
Issued: 6:12 AM Jan. 15, 2026 – National Weather Service
...INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM 10 AM EST THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS EVENING... Relative humidity is expected to drop below 25% this afternoon as extremely dry Arctic air arrives in the Carolinas. Gusts as high as 25-30 kts will accompany this air mass, resulting in potential for fine dead fuel moisture to drop to critical levels. Although cold temperatures will somewhat limit erratic fire behavior, the risk for quick spread of fires will nonetheless be elevated across the South Carolina Upstate and northeast Georgia this afternoon. Consult your local burn permitting authority on whether you may burn today. If you do burn, exercise extreme caution.
