The National Weather Service issued a report at 11:44 p.m. on Monday for fire danger until Tuesday at 11:45 a.m. The alert is for Rabun, Habersham, Stephens, Franklin, Hart and Elbert counties.

“Low relative humidity is forecasted again today. Relative humidity will fall below 25% for much of the afternoon, especially for northeast Georgia. Given the dry vegetation, outdoor fires will be able to spread quickly once started, increasing the danger of wildfires. Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether you can burn today. If you do burn, use extreme caution since fires can quickly get out of hand under these conditions,” according to the NWS.
