Active AlertsInverness, NC

The combination of low relative humidity values near 25 to 30 percent, very dry fuels, and wind gusts of up to 30 to 35 mph will produce increased fire danger across the southern Piedmont into the Sandhills of central North Carolina from late morning through the afternoon today. Outdoor burning is discouraged. Please consult your local burn permitting authorities as to whether burning is allowed. If you must burn, use extreme caution, as fires can spread rapidly under these conditions.
