# HEADLINE -------------------- INCREASED FIRE DANGER THIS AFTERNOON FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT # SUMMARY -------------------- Little if any rain occurred last night and this morning across the foothills and piedmont of North Carolina. With humidity dropping to 15 to 25 percent this afternoon, and northwest winds gusting to 20 to 25mph, 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 conditions across all of northwest 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 9:21 AM EDT ISSUED BY National Weather Service Blacksburg VA HEADER Special Weather Statement # AREAS AFFECTED -------------------- Caswell, Rockingham, Stokes, Surry, Wilkes, Yadkin Including the cities of Dobson, Danbury, Eden, Yanceyville, Wilkesboro, and Yadkinville
