Special Statement as of 3:19 am EDT on April 21, 2016 Elevated fire potential this afternoon... Warm afternoon temperatures and a very dry air mass will combine to create an elevated risk for fires today. Even though winds will remain on the lighter side... fine fuels remain quite dry and fires may start and spread quickly. It is advised that you check with your local Fire Department or forestry service before doing any open burning. Legro 319 am EDT Thu Apr 21 2016
