...Increased Fire Danger through 8 PM...

Fire weather concerns remain elevated through this evening due to 
relative humidities in the 15 to 25 percent range and gusty 
winds. Recent dry conditions have allowed fine fuels like grass 
and leaves to become more susceptible to carry fire. Fire 
weather concerns are forecasted to ease for Monday as winds from
the Gulf coast region will bring slightly higher humidity.

High pressure over the Mid-Atlantic will shift offshore tonight, 
transitioning the region to SW flow. This pattern will favor 
warmer weather for the rest of the week, peaking in the 70s and 80s 
for highs Tuesday and Wednesday. Increasing rain chances and 
plenty of cloud cover will lower high temperatures a bit for the
remainder of the work week. Chances for showers and thunderstorms
look best towards the end of the work week and perhaps into next
weekend as a cold front moves through.
