Details

Relative humidity will fall below 25 percent again this afternoon across northeast Georgia. Given the dry vegetation and low fine fuel moisture, outdoor fires will be able to spread quickly once started, increasing the danger of wildfires.

Please refer to your local burn permitting authority on whether you can burn today. If you do burn, use extreme caution since fires can quickly get out of hand under these conditions.
