...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM NOON TODAY TO 6 PM EST THIS
EVENING...

.DISCUSSION... 
Winds will increase significantly behind a departing cold front
on Monday morning. Gusts of 20 to 30 mph will be common across
the Piedmont and 30 to 40 mph will be common across the
mountains. Locally higher gusts are expected. Also, behind the front will
come a surge of drier air, which will allow for decreasing RH values 
during the day. Additionally, coincident to the front itself, 
scattered showers are expected, with the best coverage across the
mountains, and decreasing coverage over the Piedmont.

A Red Flag warning has been issued for our NC counties of Stokes,
Rockingham, and Caswell from noon through 6pm on Monday. For this
location, there will be a narrow window tomorrow afternoon for RH
values to touch 25 percent while winds are gusting at or over 35 
mph. With this said, there will also be limiting factors. The
lowest RH values of the day will also coincide with temperatures falling
through the 40s. Additionally, this same area may receive a bit
of surface moisture from the morning scattered showers.

While not on the same magnitude as Monday/Monday night, winds
will remain on the gusty side through at least Thursday. RHs will
likely be in the 20s percent range across the VA/NC Piedmonts each day.
With no additional wetting weather through mid-week, fuels will
trend drier each day.
