Today will feel like winter. We’re starting out at 29 degrees, and sunny skies should bring us to a high of just 43.

But those winds won’t quit, blowing west at 10-14 mph, gusting up to 23 mph throughout the day. And because of those winds, we have an increased fire danger.

Relative humidity will be low, around 30 percent this afternoon, leading to a higher chance of fire and of small fires spreading. Use extreme caution if burning and check with the Forest Service, 704-216-8993 or 8994 to see if any burning bans are in effect.
