...INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM 11 AM EST THIS MORNING
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON FOR UNION COUNTY NC...

The combination of low relative humidity, gusty winds throughout
much of the day, and dry fuel moisture will lead to increased fire
danger across Union County today. Most areas received little to no
rainfall with the recent system, so fuels are expected to dry out
quickly. Fires will catch and spread rapidly under these
conditions.

Outdoor burning is discouraged. Consult your local burn permitting
authority on whether you may burn today. If you do burn, exercise
extreme caution.
