Very dry air will remain, with relative humidity values likely to decrease to minimums of 15 to 25 percent through this afternoon. Additionally, westerly to northwesterly winds surrounding an approaching, moisture-starved cold front will strengthen and frequently gust between 20 and 30 mph, with infrequent gusts to around 35 mph especially over the northern Piedmont and northern Coastal Plain. An increased risk of wildfires and fire spread will result. Dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily ignite and spread fire quickly. 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. A statewide burn ban issued by the North Carolina Forest Service is currently in place. Open burning of any kind is illegal.
