Special Weather Statement issued January 15 at 10:30AM EST by NWS Wakefield VA

Effective: Thu January 15, 2026, 10:30 AM
Expires: Thu January 15, 2026, 5:00 PM

The combination of low relative humidity values near 25 to 30 percent, dry fuels, and wind gusts of up to 25 to 30 mph will produce increased fire danger across northeastern North Carolina, excluding eastern Currituck County. Outdoor burning is discouraged. Please consult your local burn permitting authorities as to whether burning is allowed. If you must burn, use extreme caution, as fires can spread rapidly under these conditions.

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.
