.DISCUSSION...
Frontal boundary will approach ENC today and stall along the
coast by this afternoon and evening. Flow will remain mainly
SW along the coast but W to NW across the inner coastal plain,
although all winds are below 10 kt. Very weak winds expected
through Wed as front remains stalled. Stronger front approaches
late week with increasing S to SW flow into the weekend.
Diurnally driven showers and storms persist Tues, Wed, and Thurs
with next front likely late week increasing precip chances further.
Overall, the fire weather risk for the period is LOW.
