Special Weather Statement issued March 22 at 2:28PM EDT by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC

Dry brush and leaf litter have become very dry in recent days due to breezy conditions and low relative humidity. These conditions are forecast again tomorrow. Relative humidity will fall below 30 percent for much of the afternoon and wind gusts may reach 25 mph at times. Given the dry vegetation, outdoor fires will be able to spread quickly once started, increasing the danger of wildfires. Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether you can burn today. If you do burn, use extreme caution since fires can quickly get out of hand under these conditions.
