Special Weather Statement issued April 12 at 2:12PM EDT by NWS Morristown TN
Relative humidity values of around 30 to 35 percent and wind gusts of 20 to 25 mph are expected from late morning through the early evening hours. When combined with the recent lack of rainfall, this will lead to elevated fire danger across the area.
Residents and visitors are urged to properly dispose of cigarette butts, matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate containers. Additionally, exercise caution if operating any equipment that could create sparks and keep vehicles off of dry grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily ignite and spread fire quickly. Also, remember to obey local burn bans and refer to local officials.
