Be careful if you’re planning on burning anything outside in North Carolina this weekend, weather conditions could lead to wildfires.

The National Weather Service warned of dangerous fire weather along the east coast, including parts of the Carolinas. Virginia has the highest risk of fire danger.

Severe Weather Center 9’s Keith Monday says the fire danger risk across the Carolinas is elevated and will stay that way until precipitation arrives.
