...INCREASED FIRE DANGER FOR MOST OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA TODAY...

The combination of dry fuels, minimum relative humidity of 25 to
30%, warm temps, and gusty southerly winds, will result in an
increased fire danger threat for most of eastern North Carolina
toay as fires could rapidly grow out of control and spread
quickly. The greatest threat will be in the afternoon into early
evening when wind guts up to 25 mph will occur.

The North Carolina Forest Service has issued a statewide ban on
all open burning and has cancelled all burning permits until
further notice. The NC Forest Service will continue to monitor
conditions. Residents with questions can contact their NC Forest
Service county ranger or their county fire marshal`s office.
