Special Weather Statement issued March 23 at 3:51AM EDT by NWS Raleigh NC
The combination of low relative humidity of 20 to 25 percent, wind gusts peaking at 15 to 25 mph later today, and dry fuels will create a risk of adverse fire behavior today over portions of central North Carolina, primarily areas west of Highway 1. This risk will be highest during the afternoon through early evening.
The North Carolina Forest Service has issued a statewide ban on all open burning, and all burning permits have been cancelled until further notice. Residents with questions can contact their NC Forest Service county ranger or their county fire marshal's office.
