Special Weather Statement issued April 19 at 9:30PM EDT by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC
Brush and leaf litter are very dry in all but the northern mountains of North Carolina, where fuel moisture values are higher due to recent rainfall. Relative humidity will fall to around 30 percent in the mountains and below 25 percent in the foothills and Piedmont Monday afternoon. Winds will gust to 30 mph across the mountains and 25 mph across the foothills and Piedmont. Given the dry vegetation, outdoor fires will be able to spread quickly once started, increasing the danger of wildfires.
A Red Flag Warning could be needed if relative humidity drops lower across the mountains or stronger wind gusts develop across the foothills and Piedmont.
A statewide burn ban is in effect for North Carolina.
