Special Weather Statement issued March 8 at 8:02AM EST by NWS Raleigh NC
Very dry fine fuels, wind gusts up to 25 mph, and low afternoon relative humidity below 30 percent will result in an increased risk of adverse fire behavior across portions of central North Carolina this afternoon.
People are urged to avoid outdoor burning this afternoon. 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.
