Relative humidity values are on track to fall to near 30 percent this afternoon, with winds of up to 18 mph, and occasionally stronger gusts. The North Carolina Forestry Commission indicated fuels were dry enough to support fire danger today for the included counties.

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.
