Here’s today’s Bottom Line
Before we get started, the NC Forestry Service has issued a ban on ALL OPEN BURNING and has canceled all burning permits statewide effective 8 AM this morning, until further notice.
Under North Carolina law, the ban prohibits all open burning in the affected counties, regardless of whether a permit was previously issued. The issuance of any new permits has also been suspended until the ban is lifted. Anyone violating the burn ban faces a $100 fine plus $183 court costs. Any person responsible for setting a fire may be liable for any expenses related to extinguishing the fire.
The burn ban does not apply to fires started within 100 feet of an occupied dwelling. The local fire marshal has authority to issue a burn ban within that 100 feet.
Dry high pressure will be in firm control of our weather through the weekend. This brings dry conditions… with relative humidity values dropping to the upper 20% range this afternoon, Saturday afternoon, and Sunday afternoon. Breezy conditions will only make fire conditions worse. The National Weather Service is hinting at issuing a formal “Fire Weather Watch” for Saturday.
Our next frontal system will move through at some point on Monday. This will be quite similar to what we experienced yesterday… not much of anything. Deep layer shear values look impressive but the severe weather risk will be near zero, and we’re not going to get a whole lot of rain out of it either.
I’m going with a dry forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday next week but the confidence in that is pretty low as we enter a period where weather systems move very rapidly across the country. NBM temperature averages remain above normal… followed by a turn much above normal as we enter the month of April.
Here’s your Freedom Insurance Today-plus-Five forecast:
That will conclude today’s report. Thanks for reading, and as always, take care.
