INCREASED FIRE DANGER UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS EVENING.

Very dry conditions continue this afternoon, with minimum
relative humidity in the 15-20% range across most of the region.
While winds aren't expected to be as strong, gusts of 10-15mph are
expected during the afternoon, along with very dry fuels and
multiple ongoing wildfires. Therefore, enhanced fire danger
conditions will continue.

A statewide burn ban remains in place in both North Carolina and
South Carolina until further notice. For northeast Georgia,
consult your local burn- permitting authority on whether or not
you may burn outdoors. If you do burn, exercise extreme caution.
