Special Weather Statement issued November 18 at 9:02AM EST by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC
Dead brush and leaf litter have become very dry in recent days across much of western North Carolina due to breezy conditions and low relative humidity. These conditions are forecast once again today. Relative humidity will fall below 30 percent for most of the afternoon and wind gusts may reach 20 mph at times.
These factors combined with dry vegetation will result in elevated wildfire danger, especially this afternoon.
Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether you can burn Tuesday. If you do burn, use extreme caution since fires can quickly get out of hand under these conditions.
