Special Weather Statement issued May 5 at 11:13AM EDT by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC

Effective: Tue May 5, 2026, 11:13 AM
Expires: Tue May 5, 2026, 8:00 PM

Relative humidity as low as 26% is expected across parts of the North Carolina Piedmont this afternoon, along with gusty winds. Local land managers have expressed concerns about the state of fine fuels, which could become quite dry during the afternoon and early evening hours today. Dry fuels, gusty winds, and low RH will all contribute to increased fire danger this afternoon. Fires will catch and spread quickly under these conditions. For most of the affected area, a state burn ban remains in place, restricting all outdoor burning. You should not burn outdoors when a burn ban is in place.

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.
