...INCREASED FIRE DANGER THIS AFTERNOON FOR NORTH CAROLINA
PIEDMONT...

Although temperatures are colder today, the combination of low
relative humidity values near 25 to 30 percent, and gusty winds,
fire danger will be enhanced this afternoon across the northwest
Piedmont of North Carolina.

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.
