Moderate Extreme Weather ● Active
Special Weather Statement issued October 19 at 11:44PM EDT by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC, United States of America
Loading live data… · Marker positions are approximate; severity is labelled in each popup. Sources: USGS, GDACS, NASA EONET, NOAA/NWS, EMSC.
Low relative humidity is forecasted again today. Relative
humidity will fall below 25 percent for much of the afternoon,
especially for northeast Georgia. Given the dry vegetation,
outdoor fires will be able to spread quickly once started,
increasing the danger of wildfires.
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.
