...INCREASED FIRE DANGER TODAY FROM 11 AM UNTIL 7 PM... Dry and windy conditions are expected today across central North Carolina. Westerly winds will gust as high as 20 to 25 mph, with infrequent gusts up to 30 mph. These winds combined with low humidity of 20 to 30 percent and dry fuel conditions will result in an increased risk of adverse fire behavior today. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Please consult your local burn permitting authorities as to whether burning is allowed today. If you must burn, use extreme caution, as fires can spread rapidly under these conditions.
