...INCREASED FIRE DANGER WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON FOR WESTERN NORTH
CAROLINA...

Relative humidity values will fall into the 25 to 30 percent range
Tuesday afternoon, with winds increasing to around 10 to 15 mph
with some higher gusts. With vegetation remaining dry, the ongoing
drought, and favorable meteorological conditions, fires will be
able to catch and spread rapidly.

Refer to your local burn permitting authority regarding whether
you may burn outdoors today. If you do burn, exercise extreme
caution as fires can quickly get out of hand under these
conditions.
