Special Weather Statement issued March 25 at 12:13PM EDT by NWS Raleigh NC
The combination of low relative humidity of 20 to 30 percent, wind gusts peaking at 20 to 30 mph, and dry fuels, will create a risk of adverse fire behavior today over central North Carolina.
Similar conditions are also expected across central NC on Wednesday. The risks will be highest during the afternoon through early evening.
The North Carolina Forest Service has issued a statewide ban on all open burning until further notice, and all burning permits have been cancelled. Residents with questions can contact their NC Forest Service county ranger or their county fire marshal's office.
