...INCREASED FIRE DANGER SATURDAY ACROSS NORTHEAST NORTH

CAROLINA...



Dry, hot, and breezy conditions are expected Saturday. The ongoing

drought has led to abnormally dry dead surface fuels across the region.

Min RH values of 25 to 35%, wind gusts to around 20 mph, and afternoon

high temperatures mainly into the 90s will lead to increased fire

danger from mid morning through early evening Saturday. Conditions

Sunday may be similar ahead of an approaching cold front, with an

additional Increased Fire Danger statement likely to be issued. 



Residents are urged to exercise caution handling any potential

ignition source...including machinery... cigarettes...and matches.

Be sure to properly discard all smoking materials. Any dry grasses

and tree litter that ignite will have the potential to spread

quickly.
