Special Weather Statement
National Weather Service Morristown TN
852 PM EDT Sat Mar 28 2026
..INCREASED FIRE DANGER IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM EDT TO 8 PM EDT
SUNDAY DUE TO A COMBINATION OF WINDS AND VERY LOW RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES...

Fire weather concerns exist again for midday Sunday into the
evening due to a very dry airmass and breezy south to southwest
winds. Relative humidity values are expected to drop into the
teens and lower 20s across the whole region. Winds will gust up to
25 mph.

Residents and visitors are urged to properly dispose of cigarette
butts, matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate
containers. Additionally, exercise caution if operating any
equipment that could create sparks and keep vehicles off of dry
grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could
easily ignite and spread fire quickly.

Lastly, remember to obey local burn bans.
