BOAT LAUNCH
March 22, 2025

Special Weather Statement
None

Winds from the west-southwest around 10 to 20 mph are expected to gust as high as 25 to 30 mph today over portions of the Coastal Plain. These winds will be accompanied by low relative humidity of 20 to 25 percent. This combination of winds and low humidity will bring an increased risk for adverse fire behavior today. While this area did receive rain on Thursday, the blustery winds yesterday resulted in quick drying of fine fuels, which will dry further today. The North Carolina Forest Service has issued a statewide ban on all open burning and has cancelled all burning permits effective from 8 AM Friday until further notice. The North Carolina Forest Service will continue to monitor conditions. Residents with questions can contact their NC Forest Service county ranger or their county fire marshal's office.
