Special Weather Statement
-# HEADLINE -------------------- INCREASED FIRE DANGER SATURDAY AND SUNDAY ACROSS ALL OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA # SUMMARY -------------------- Abnormally dry fuel conditions further exacerbated by Highs reaching well into the 90s inland, low relative humidity (lowest away from the immediate coast), and strengthening southwest winds gusting to 15-20mph in the afternoon will lead to increased fire danger Saturday, and most likely again on Sunday. Fire fuels could easily ignite and spread rapidly in these conditions. Residents and visitors to the area are urged to properly dispose of cigarette butts, matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate containers. Exercise caution if operating any equipment that could create sparks, and keep vehicles off dry leaves and grass. Please refer to your local burn permitting authorities on whether you can burn. If you do, you are advised to use extreme caution. # DETAILS -------------------- ISSUED AT Friday, June 5, 2026 at 8:03 PM EDT ISSUED BY National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC HEADER Special Weather Statement # AREAS AFFECTED -------------------- Coastal Onslow, Hatteras Island, Mainland Hyde, Southern Craven, Beaufort, Duplin, East Carteret, Greene, Inland Onslow, Jones, Lenoir, Mainland Dare, Martin, Northern Craven, Northern Outer Banks, Ocracoke Island, Pamlico, Pitt, Tyrrell, Washington, West Carteret Including the cities of Williamston, Robersonville, Oak City, Jamesville, Greenville, Bethel, Farmville, Grifton, Grimesland, Plymouth, Roper, Creswell, Columbia, Gum Neck, Manns Harbor, Stumpy Point, East Lake, Snow Hill, Hookerton, Walstonburg, Washington, Chocowinity, Belhaven, Bath, Aurora, Engelhard, Fairfield, Ponzer, Scranton, Swanquarter, Wallace, Warsaw, Kenansville, Beulaville, Faison, Kinston, La Grange, Pink Hill, Maysville, Pollocksville, Trenton, Oriental, Bayboro, Arapahoe, Vandemere, Vanceboro, Ernul, Dover, Cove City, New Bern, River Bend, Fairfield Harbor, Havelock, Morehead City, Newport, Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle, Stella, Beaufort, Harkers Island, Sea Level, Cedar Island, Jacksonville, Richlands, Half Moon, Swansboro, Sneads Ferry, North Topsail Beach, Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, Manteo, Ocracoke, Rodanthe, Avon, Buxton, Frisco, and Hatteras Village
