Until 2025-03-25T20:00:00-04:00 • National Weather Service
The combination of dry fuels, variable wind directions, gusts around 20 to 25 mph this afternoon, and relative humidity values dropping to around 25 percent will result in increased fire danger threat for much of eastern North Carolina today. The North Carolina Forest Service has issued a statewide ban on all open burning and has cancelled all burning permits until further notice. The NC 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.
