FORECAST:
- Red Flag Warnings do continue for the majority of the DMA until 11 p.m. for high fire danger.
- The NC Forestry Service says a statewide burn ban will go into effect at 6 p.m. Saturday until further notice as the dry conditions continue to worsen.
- Thankfully, we are tracking some encouraging signs as rain is returning to the forecast this upcoming week.
- We’ll gradually warm up and start to bring some moisture back into the Carolinas early in the week.
- Then a front will stall out across the area and become the focus for several days of showers and storms.
- Amounts will be light each day but this will add up to 0.5 to 1 inch of rain by the end of the week. Which is great!
