Special Weather Statement issued March 6 at 3:07PM EST by NWS Blacksburg VA
A dry airmass will remain in place across western North Carolina through Sunday with breezy northwest winds of 15-25 mph during the afternoon and into the early evening. Fuel moistures continue to dry out as well, thus leading to increasing fire danger given the combined atmospheric conditions.
Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether you can burn on Sunday. If you do burn, use extreme caution since fires can quickly get out of hand under these conditions.
