.DISCUSSION...
Dry conditions will continue for the remainder of today, but 
wind gusts should stay around 15 to 20 mph. Those wind gusts
should increase to 30 mph by Wednesday as a frontal boundary 
passes to the north. Relative humidities will fall towards 20 
to 25 percent across North Carolina, and any rain chances from 
the aforementioned frontal boundary should stay along and north 
of Route 460. Therefore, enhanced fire danger is likely for 
North Carolina on Wednesday, and a statement will be issued 
accordingly. A statement may also need to be considered for 
parts of Virginia, but there will be a cutoff somewhere along 
and north of Route 460 where the relative humidity may fail to 
drop below 40 percent due to passing clouds and the chance of 
isolated showers or thunderstorms. Afterward, above normal 
temperatures and dry conditions should continue for the rest of
this week, and the next chance of widespread wetting rainfall 
may not come until this weekend or into early next week.
