.DISCUSSION...

...Increased Fire Potential for Monday...

A warming trend continues through Sunday in advance of an
approaching cold front that is expected to pass across the
region by Monday. This will bring cooler temperatures and
a chance for light rainfall amounts to the region Sunday night
into Monday morning.

There is an increased fire potential for Monday for areas that
do not receive rain Sunday and Monday morning. Gusty post-
frontal winds, RH values dropping to 15 to 25%, and warm
temperatures may increase the fire danger, specifically for the
Piedmont of VA and NC.

Dry high pressure settles in Tuesday, but rain shower chances
return again for Wednesday.
