Habersham County E911 Issues Fire Warning

INCREASED FIRE DANGER ACROSS EXTREME NORTHEAST GEORGIA FROM 11 AM EST THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON

Special Weather Statement issued December 22 at 3:58AM EST by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC

Temperatures reaching 55 to 60 degrees this afternoon across

northeast Georgia, along with drier air moving in on breezy west

winds, will permit relative humidity values to fall to around 25

percent or less in many locations for several hours. Winds will be

briefly gusty in the mountains late this morning and early this

afternoon, but diminish through the rest of the afternoon hours.

The dry and briefly breezy conditions will combine with drying

brush and other surface fuels to increase fire danger across the

area. Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on

whether you can burn today. If you do burn, use extreme caution

since fires can quickly get out of hand under these conditions
