... Increased fire danger today...
Very dry air coupled with gusty northwest winds will lead to
increased fire danger across eastern North Carolina today.
Relative humidity values will drop to 20 to 25 percent today with
northwest winds of 15 to 25 mph... gusting as high as 40 mph at
times.
These factors... coupled with a rainfall deficit in the region will
lead to an increase in fire growth potential today... despite the
very cold temperatures. Controlled burning is discouraged today
due to the dry air and gusty winds.
