...ENHANCED FIRE DANGER WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
ACROSS EAST TENNESSEE..SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA...AND SOUTHWEST NORTH
CAROLINA...

CRITICALLY DRY CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP BY EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON...AS RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL DROP INTO THE UPPER 
TEENS TO UPPER 20S. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE LIGHT AND FROM THE
SOUTHWEST...BUT SOME LOCALLY HIGHER...ERRATIC GUSTS ARE
POSSIBLE...PARTICULARLY ALONG THE HIGHER TERRAIN.

THIS WILL PRODUCE ENHANCED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS THE
ENTIRE REGION THROUGH THIS EVENING. WILDFIRES WILL BE EASIER TO
IGNITE AND MUCH HARDER TO CONTROL.

RESIDENTS OF EAST TENNESSEE...SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA...AND SOUTHWEST
NORTH CAROLINA NEED TO BE EXTRA VIGILANT TO PREVENT
WILDFIRES...DUE TO THE ENHANCED POTENTIAL FOR FIRE GROWTH AND
SPREAD.
