Outdoor burning ‘strongly discouraged’ today

Dry fuels and low relative humidity will create fire danger concerns across most of north and central Georgia today, including Gainesville and surrounding areas.

The weather service has issued a Red Flag Warning for portions of south-central Georgia where winds will be stronger. For the rest of us, a Fire Danger Statement has been posted. Wind expectations range from 8-25 mph depending on which area you are in.

Outdoor burning is “strongly discouraged,” forecasters say.
