INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM NOON EDT TODAY THROUGH THIS EVENING

Wednesday will again be very dry, with minimum relative humidity

today, gusts of at least 25mph are expected during the afternoon,
continuing the enhanced fire danger conditions.

Since the previous issuance of this product, zones in Northeast
Georgia, the western Upstate and mountains of South Carolina, and
parts of the North Carolina Blue Ridge have been upgraded to a Red

A statewide burn ban remains in place for both North Carolina and
South Carolina.
