INCREASED FIRE DANGER FROM 11 AM EST THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS EVENING

Another very dry day is expected today, with minimum relative
humidity of 15 to 20 percent during the afternoon. While winds
will be much weaker and temperatures much cooler, dry vegetation
due to lack of recent rainfall combined with the dry air will once
again enhance the wildfire danger across the western Carolinas
and northeast Georgia. Multiple wildfires are ongoing across the
area, and the South Carolina Forestry Commission has issued a burn
ban for the entire state. Outdoor burning is also strongly
discouraged across the remainder of the area.
