...INCREASED FIRE DANGER THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS PORTIONS OF
NORTHWESTERN NORTH CAROLINA...

Dry fine fuels, wind gusts up to 25 mph, and low afternoon
relative humidity below 30 percent will result in an increased
risk of adverse fire behavior across northwestern North Carolina
this afternoon.

People are urged to avoid outdoor burning through this evening.
If you must burn, use extreme caution since fires can grow quickly
and become dangerous in these conditions. Ensure that fire
suppression equipment is readily available. Properly extinguish
and dispose of any smoking materials.
