...INCREASED FIRE DANGER TODAY THROUGHOUT CENTRAL NORTH
CAROLINA...
Very dry air will remain, with relative humidity values likely to
decrease to minimums of 15 to 25 percent through this afternoon.
Additionally, westerly to northwesterly winds surrounding an
approaching, moisture-starved cold front will strengthen and
frequently gust between 20 and 30 mph, with infrequent gusts to
around 35 mph especially over the northern Piedmont and northern
Coastal Plain. An increased risk of wildfires and fire spread will
result.
Dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily
ignite and spread fire quickly. Residents and visitors are urged
to properly dispose of cigarette butts, matches, and any other
flammable items in appropriate containers. Additionally, exercise
caution if operating any equipment that could create sparks, and
keep vehicles off of dry leaves and grass.
A statewide burn ban issued by the North Carolina Forest Service
is currently in place. Open burning of any kind is illegal.

...INCREASED FIRE DANGER ACROSS MUCH OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA FROM
11 AM EDT THIS MORNING THROUGH 8 PM THIS EVENING...
Brush and leaf litter are very dry in all but the northern mountains
of North Carolina, where fuel moisture values are higher due to
recent rainfall. Relative humidity will fall to around 30 percent
in the mountains and below 25 percent in the foothills and
Piedmont this afternoon. Wind gusts up to 35 mph can be expected
across the mountains, with wind gusts up to 25 mph across the
foothills and Piedmont. Given these conditions, outdoor fires
will be able to spread quickly once started, increasing the danger
of wildfires.
A statewide burn ban remains in effect until further notice for
North Carolina. Open burning of any kind is illegal.

...ELEVATED FIRE DANGER FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL VIRGINIA TODAY...
The combination of 10 hour fuel moistures around 10 to 12 percent
relative humidities around 20 to 25 percent, and frequent wind
gusts around 20 to 25 mph will lead to an increased risk for the
rapid spread of wildfires today. Even with some light rainfall
yesterday, there was adequate sun and gusty winds this afternoon
to rapidly dry fuels.
Residents and visitors are urged to properly dispose of cigarette
butts, matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate
containers. Additionally, exercise caution if operating any
equipment that could create sparks and keep vehicles off of dry
grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could
easily ignite and spread fire quickly.
Lastly, remember to obey local burn bans. For more information about
wildfire danger, burn restrictions, and wildfire prevention and
education, please visit your state forestry or environmental
protection website.
