.DISCUSSION...

Strong west to northwest winds should dry fuels efficiently 
Sunday afternoon, though temps will be cooler than today. Still 
RH dropping to as low as 15 to 25 percent will lead to quick
drying of fine fuels today.

Monday appears just as dry and with another day of drying could
be a day where wildfire spread is higher with RH values again
dropping into the teens along/east of the Blue Ridge and 20-27
percent in the mountains. 

The rest of the week appears mostly dry, with temps warming up 
after Tuesday back to above normal values. 

The next widespread rain chances won't return to the area until
next Saturday/Sunday.
