Special Weather Statement issued March 3 at 5:54AM EST by NWS Raleigh NC
The combination of very dry fine fuels like grasses and tree debris, limited rainfall in the last week, and very low relative humidity dropping to 15 to 20 percent will lead to an elevated risk of adverse fire behavior today.
People are urged to avoid outdoor burning today. 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.
