Fire weather watch, which are granted as dangerous conditions in Carolinas

(WPDE) – Other agencies spend the risk of fire, since the conditions are just the right thing for the high risk.

The National Weather Service has published a fire weather for the Pee Dee, the Grand Strand and the border belt for Saturday. The clock runs from Saturday morning to Saturday evening.

This means that dangerous fire conditions are expected due to warm weather, airy winds, dry air and dry vegetation. When a spark is created, everything will spread quickly, since the winds between 25 and 30 miles per hour.

A fire weather clock is used when critical fire weather conditions are to occur. It is recommended to avoid activities that can lead to spark, e.g. B. cigarettes and cigars, certain garden work activities, vehicles with dry vegetation or burn outdoors outdoors.

This risk is largely due to the low relative humidity (ie dry air), windy conditions and warm weather is largely due to the lack of precipitation and dry vegetation in the area. The Pee Dee, the border belt and the Grand Strand have experienced a precipitation deficit until February. The latest report by the South Carolina Dürre reaction committee shows that all counties Grand Strand and Pee Dee remain in the “beginning of drought” powder.

This means that the area has experienced less precipitation than usual for the month of February. While this season is not the most damp in the Carolinas, a precipitation deficit from 1 to 2 inch rain means that is coupled with dry, winter vegetation.

Due to the lack of precipitation, a large part of the Carolinas are under drought. The latest drought monitor of the national drought reduction center in Nebraska was released on Thursday. It shows a moderate drought (in a light tan below) in the Grand Strand, Pee Dee and on the border belt.

The South Carolina Forestry Commission spent a red flag alarm on Friday to discourage the burning.

At this point, any dry and windy day without rain can cause a fire risk in the area due to the continuing drought.

Our next sensible chance of rain is coming next week. You can find more information about the latest forecast here.
