Details:
After very little to no rain fell across the region today, Monday
will be another very dry day with gusty winds. Humidity values
will drop to 20 to 30 percent in the afternoon, and northwest
winds will gust to 20 to 30 mph. This will result in an increased
risk for the rapid spread of wildfires from late morning through
early evening.

Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily
ignite and spread fire quickly. Residents and visitors are urged
to properly dispose of cigarette butts, matches, and any other
flammable items in appropriate containers. Additionally, exercise
caution if operating any equipment that could create sparks, and
keep vehicles off of dry leaves and grass.

A statewide burn ban issued by the North Carolina Forest Service
is currently in place. Open burning of any kind is illegal.
