.DISCUSSION...

Key Messages:

1) Critical fire weather conditions continue through this
   evening.

2) A heightened risk of fire danger continues in Monday.


The combination of continued gusty winds in the 20-25 mph range,
low RH values dropping into the teens and 20 percent range, 
along with dry fuels on the ground will result in a critical 
fire weather day again on Monday. Fortunately, winds do look to 
diminish some on Monday; however, RH values will likely be much 
lower areawide, with more widespread upper teens RH values 
possible in the Piedmont. This continued fire weather concerns 
will likely lead to a fire weather SPS for much of the area on 
Monday. Burning will continue to be discouraged for much of the
area.
