The combination of dry fuels, minRHs in the low 20%s, and gusty winds associated with local sea, sound, and river breezes will result in increased fire danger threat for all of eastern North Carolina today as fires could rapidly grow out of control and spread quickly. Greatest threat will be in the late afternoon and early evening as winds will be relatively light with variable direction as high pressure shifts offshore through the first half of the day. 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.
