Special Weather Statement issued April 14 at 8:46AM EDT by NWS Newport/Morehead City NC
There will be an increased threat for wildfires across most of Eastern NC today until around sunset. The combination of low relative humidity values of 20 to 25 percent this afternoon, southwesterly wind gusts up to around 20 mph, and dry ground fuels will allow any fires to quickly spread.
Outdoor burning today is discouraged. Please refer to your local burn permitting authority on whether you can burn. If you do burn, use extreme caution and ensure fire suppression equipment is readily available.
