Weather Alerts For Belews Creek, NC

# HEADLINE -------------------- INCREASED FIRE DANGER THIS AFTERNOON FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA WESTERN PIEDMONT AND SANDHILLS # SUMMARY -------------------- As a cold front moves through the region this morning little if any rain is expected to occur. Humidity values will drop to 15 to 25 percent this afternoon, and northwest winds gusting to 25 to 35 mph, fuels will dry out quickly. This will result in an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires through early evening. Additionally, Monday will be another very dry day with gusty winds, so expect worsening fire weather conditions across all of Central North Carolina. Residents and visitors are urged to exercise caution handling any potential ignition source, including machinery, cigarettes, and matches. Be sure to properly discard all smoking materials. Any dry grasses and tree litter that ignite will have the potential to spread quickly. A statewide burn ban is in effect for North Carolina. # DETAILS -------------------- ISSUED AT Sunday, April 19, 2026 at 11:31 AM EDT ISSUED BY National Weather Service Raleigh NC HEADER Special Weather Statement # AREAS AFFECTED -------------------- Chatham, Scotland, Alamance, Anson, Cumberland, Davidson, Durham, Forsyth, Guilford, Harnett, Hoke, Lee, Montgomery, Moore, Orange, Person, Randolph, Richmond, Stanly Including the cities of Roxboro, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point, Burlington, Graham, Mebane, Hillsborough, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Durham, Rougemont, Lexington, Thomasville, Asheboro, Archdale, Siler City, Pittsboro, Albemarle, Troy, Southern Pines, Pinehurst, Aberdeen, Carthage, Sanford, Lillington, Angier, Buies Creek, Erwin, Dunn, Wadesboro, Polkton, Rockingham, Ellerbe, Laurinburg, Camp Mackall, Wagram, Raeford, Fayetteville, Spring Lake, and Hope Mills
