Special Weather Statement issued January 16 at 4:25AM EST by NWS Blacksburg VA
The combination of low relative humidity values from near 20 percent to 25 percent, very dry fuels, and wind gusts occasionally to 25 mph will produce increased fire danger across portions northwest North Carolina from noon to 6 PM today.
Outdoor burning is discouraged. Please consult your local burn permitting authorities as to whether burning is allowed. If you must burn, use extreme caution, as fires can spread rapidly under these conditions.
