INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING.

Thursday afternoon will again be very dry, with minimum relative
humidity in the 15-20% range expected across much of the region.
While winds are not expected to be quite as strong, gusts of at
least 10-15mph are expected during the afternoon, continuing the
enhanced fire danger conditions.

A statewide burn ban remains in place for North Carolina until
further notice.
