...Fire Danger Statement in effect for Virginia through 6PM...

...Fire Danger Statement in effect for North Carolina through 
   8PM...

Unusually warm and dry conditions will take place with record  
heat possible beginning by midweek. Rainfall appears 
minimal as any chances of showers or thunderstorms remain 
limited to southeast West Virginia. Otherwise, drought 
conditions will worsen as minimum relative humidity values fall 
towards 20 to 35 percent each afternoon. Some of the southern 
facing slopes may have minimum relative humidity values drop to 
15 to 20 percent with afternoon sunshine and gusty winds due to 
an unstable atmosphere from the increasing heat.

These aforementioned conditions and the increasing warmth will 
escalate fire danger across the entire region. The anomalous 
heat and low humidity combined with daytime gusts will only make
fire containment increasingly difficult throughout the week.

Winds today remain gusty from the southwest through the evening
and coupled with very dry fuels, fires could be difficult to
suppress. A Fire Danger Statement has been issued for all of 
Virginia and portions of Virginia. An additional Fire Danger
Statement may be needed on Tuesday.
