The combination of low relative humidity, breezy winds up to 10

danger today for portions of eastern North Carolina.
Dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could easily
ignite and spread fire quickly. People in this 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 of dry leaves and grass.
