.DISCUSSION...

...Increased Fire Danger This Afternoon...

Fire weather concerns are elevated for today, mainly between the 
hours of 11 AM and 8 PM, due to relative humidities forecasted 
to range between 17 and 25 percent for much of the lower Mid-
Atlantic, while winds will increase during late this morning to 
gust to 15 to 25 mph from the south. Recent dry conditions have 
allowed fine fuels to become more susceptible to carry fire. 
Fire weather concerns are forecasted to ease for Monday as winds 
from the Gulf coast region will bring higher humidity.
