Active AlertsGastonia, NC

Minimum relative humidity will drop near or below 25 percent east of the mountains in North Carolina and across most of northeast Georgia this afternoon. Breezy conditions are also expected with gusts ranging from 15 to 25 mph. The combination of low humidity, breezy winds, and dry vegetation will lead to increased fire danger today. 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.
