Special Weather Statement issued March 12 at 2:23AM EDT by NWS Raleigh NC
Very dry fine fuels and low afternoon relative humidities will promote an increased fire danger across the western and central Piedmont and portions of the Sandhills through this evening.
Winds will increase during the afternoon hours, with occasional gusts to around 15 to 20 mph.
People are urged to avoid outdoor burning through Tuesday. If you must burn, use extreme caution since fires can grow quickly and become dangerous in these conditions. Ensure that fire suppression equipment is readily available. Properly extinguish and dispose of any smoking materials.
