Continued dry fuels and low humidity across the region raise concern for increased fire danger. Although winds will not be as strong as the previous day, relative humidity values nearing critical levels combined with dry fuels support a continued elevated fire weather threat across the Midlands and CSRA. Outdoor fires will have the potential to spread quickly, increasing the danger of wildfires. A statewide burn ban remains in effect for South Carolina until further notice.

Although winds will be mostly light...between 5 and 10 mph, the dry air combined with very dry vegetation will result in a continuation of elevated fire danger. Statewide burn bans are in effect for both North Carolina and South Carolina until further notice. Open burning of any kind is subject to fines until the bans are lifted.
