...INCREASED FIRE DANGER IN NORTHEAST GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...
DEAD BRUSH AND LEAF LITTER HAVE BECOME VERY DRY IN NORTHEAST
GEORGIA, AND WILL CONTINUE TO DRY TODAY AS RELATIVE HUMIDITY
BECOMES VERY LOW, FALLING TO LESS THAN 25 PERCENT. WINDS WILL BE
LIGHT, BUT THE LOW HUMIDITY AND FUEL MOISTURE TOGETHER MEAN THAT
FIRES WILL BE ABLE TO SPREAD QUICKLY ONCE STARTED.
PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL BURN PERMITTING AUTHORITIES ON WHETHER
YOU CAN BURN TODAY. IF YOU DO BURN, USE EXTREME CAUTION SINCE
FIRES CAN QUICKLY GET OUT OF HAND UNDER THESE CONDITIONS.
