Special Weather Statement issued March 20 at 4:16AM EDT by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC
A cold front will allow gusty winds to develop today, ranging from 25 to 35 mph. Although scattered rain showers are expected to track across western North Carolina later this morning, this will not be enough of a wetting rain to bring relief to dry fuels.
Relative humidity will fall below 30% for a few hours later today as drier air filters into the region behind the cold front. Dry fuels, gusty winds, and low relative humidity will all lead to increased Fire Danger today. Thus, a Fire Danger Statement has been issued for the North Carolina Foothills and Piedmont from 4 PM to 8 PM this evening.
Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities whether you may burn outdoors. If you do burn outside, use extreme caution.
