The combination of dry fuels, relative humidities at or below 25 percent and northerly wind gusts around 25 mph will lead to an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires on Saturday across all of 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 grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily ignite and spread fire quickly. Lastly, remember to obey local burn bans.
