Special Weather Statement issued June 6 at 9:11AM EDT by NWS Newport/Morehead City NC
Abnormally dry fuel conditions further exacerbated by high temperatures reaching well into the 90s inland, low relative humidity (lowest away from the immediate coast), and strengthening southwest winds gusting to 15-20mph in the afternoon will lead to increased fire danger today and Sunday.
Fire fuels could easily ignite and spread rapidly in these conditions. Residents and visitors to the area are urged to properly dispose of cigarette butts, matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate containers. Exercise caution if operating any equipment that could create sparks, and keep vehicles off dry leaves and grass.
Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether you can burn. If you do, you are advised to use extreme caution.
