Special Weather Statement issued March 29 at 2:39AM EDT by NWS Wilmington NC

Effective: Sun March 29, 2026, 2:39 AM
Expires: Sun March 29, 2026, 8:00 PM

Although wind speeds will be much lower today, the combination of dry fuels from the ongoing drought and low to moderate relative humidity levels will continue to produce an increased fire danger across northeast SC and southeast NC as per fire officials.

Residents and visitors are urged to properly dispose of cigarette butts, matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate containers. Additionally, exercise caution if operating any equipment that could create sparks and keep vehicles off of dry grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily ignite and spread fire quickly. Please be reminded that statewide burn bans have been issued by the SC Forestry Commission and the NC Forest Service until further notice which means most open burning is illegal.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
