Special Weather Statement issued November 30 at 3:08PM EST by NWS Raleigh NC
The combination of continued dry conditions and wind gusts of up to 20 to 25 mph coupled with relative humidity values falling into the 25 to 35 percent range will lead to an increased risk of dangerous fire growth today.
The state of North Carolina has issued a state wide burn ban.
Thus, outdoor burning is prohibited.
Relative humidity values will increase Wednesday, with lower winds as compared to today. However, based on ongoing very dry conditions, including the lack of recent rainfall and an abundance of dry leaves and other tree litter, a statewide burn ban will remain in effect until further notice.
