Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 902 AM EST Tue Nov 18 2025 ...INCREASED FIRE DANGER UNTIL 6 PM EST THIS EVENING... Dead brush and leaf litter have become very dry in recent days across northeast Georgia due to breezy conditions and low relative humidity. These conditions are forecast once again this afternoon. Relative humidity will fall below 25 percent for four hours or more this afternoon, with south winds of 5 to 10 mph. These factors combined with dry vegetation will result in elevated wildfire danger. Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether you can burn Tuesday. If you do burn, use extreme caution since fires can quickly get out of hand under these conditions.
