It’s another high fire danger day in North and Central Georgia. The National Weather Service issued the alert effective Monday afternoon and evening, November 29.
Relative humidities of 25% or less can be expected for four or more hours and winds will be northwest to west at 5 to 10 MPH with higher gusts, particularly during the afternoon.
The dry, windy weather conditions combined with dry fuels such as leaves and grass increase the danger of outdoor fires spreading.
