| Description: |
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. |
