INCREASED FIRE DANGER UNTIL 7 PM EST 2/11/22

Increased Fire Danger Sign

National Weather Service Special Weather Statement

INCREASED FIRE DANGER UNTIL 7 PM EST THIS EVENING... A very dry airmass will linger across North Carolina today. With surface dewpoints dropping throughout the day and above normal temperatures persisting into the early evening, relative humidity values will fall below 30 percent.

Winds will also strengthen this afternoon and gusts nearing 25 mph are probable for a few hours over most areas. Brush and other small fuels will remain quite dry, thus the risk of fire danger will be enhanced.

Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether you can burn today. If you do burn, use extreme caution since fires can quickly get out of hand under these conditions.
