FIRE DANGER STATEMENT IN EFFECT FOR THIS AFTERNOON... LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES IN THE 20 TO 25 PERCENT RANGE ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA PIEDMONT AND THE NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA FOOTHILLS THIS AFTERNOON. THESE LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL COMBINE WITH DRY FUELS AND INCREASING SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 10 TO 15 MPH THIS AFTERNOON TO LEAD TO ENHANCED FIRE DANGER. THESE CONDITIONS COULD ALLOW WILDFIRES TO START AND SPREAD MORE EASILY. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL BURN PERMITTING AUTHORITIES ON WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN BURN TODAY. IF YOU DO BURN...USE EXTREME CAUTION SINCE FIRES CAN QUICKLY GET OUT OF HAND UNDER THESE CONDITIONS.
