Special Weather Statement issued March 30 at 7:44PM EDT by NWS Raleigh NC

Effective: Mon March 30, 2026, 11:44 PM
Expires: Tue March 31, 2026, 1:00 PM

The combination of low relative humidity, gusty winds, and very dry fuels will lead to an increased risk of wildfires today across central North Carolina. 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 leaves and grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily ignite and spread fire quickly. A statewide burn ban issued by the North Carolina Forest Service is currently in place. Open burning of any kind is illegal.
