An updated weather alert was issued by the National Weather Service on Sunday at 8:07 p.m. for fire danger until Monday at 8:15 a.m. The alert is for Rabun, Habersham, Stephens, Franklin, Hart and Elbert counties.
"Another very dry day is expected Monday with minimum relative humidity of 15 to 20 percent possible in the afternoon. While winds are expected to be light and temperatures seasonably cool, dry vegetation due to lack of recent rainfall combined with the dry air will once again result in increased wildfire danger in northeast Georgia. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. 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," says the NWS.
