Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 235 AM EDT Fri Apr 10 2026 ....INCREASED FIRE DANGER ACROSS NORTHEAST GEORGIA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING... Fine fuels remain very dry thanks to a lack of rainfall and low relative humidity the last few days. Although winds will be light today, relative humidity values are expected to fall below 25 percent again this afternoon and evening. Given the dry vegetation, outdoor fires will be able to spread quickly once started. Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether you can burn today. If you do burn, use extreme caution as fires can quickly get out of hand under these conditions.
