...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.
