INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM 11 AM EST THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS EVENING FOR WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA..UPSTATE SOUTH CAROLINA..AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA

Another very dry day is expected again today with minimum
relative humidity of 20 to 25 percent possible in the afternoon.
While winds are expected to be light and temperatures still on the
cool side of normal, dry vegetation due to lack of recent rainfall
combined with the dry air will once again result in increased
wildfire danger in northeast Georgia, Upstate South Carolina and
western North Carolina.

Across Upstate South Carolina, an outdoor burning ban from the
South Carolina Forestry Commission remains in effect. A State
Forester's Burning Ban prohibits all outdoor burning, including
yard debris burning, prescribed burning, and campfires in all
unincorporated areas of the state.

The burning ban will stay in effect until further notice.
