...VERY LOW HUMIDITY AND GUSTY WINDS MONDAY...

.DISCUSSION...

Wetting rains in the mountains last night and early this morning will
dry out this afternoon and Monday. The Piedmont did not receive
any wetting rain or very little, so dead fuels here will be especially
dry Monday as RH values drop into the teens, and northwest winds
remain elevated through the day. 

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.
