Hight fire danger conditions are expected in the Gainesville area and other parts of north Georgia (see accompanying map) today because of low relative humidities, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
"Relative Humidities of 30 percent or less can be expected for 4
or more hours this afternoon into the evening," the NWS advisory says. "Winds will be northeast at 5 to 10 MPH.
"With dry fuels, high fire danger conditions can be expected.
Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities
whether you may burn outdoors. If you do burn outside,
use extreme caution."
