Dry weather will increase the danger of outdoor burning today across parts of Northeast Georgia. The National Weather Service warns of high fire conditions this afternoon and evening for elevations above 1500 feet.
Low relative humidities of 15 percent or less can be expected this afternoon, increasing to above 25 percent after 10 p.m.
Winds will be light from the east around 5 to 10 mph, decreasing around sunset.
With dry fuels such as grass and leaves, there’s a greater risk of outdoor burns getting out of control.
