With a forecast of dry conditions and gusty winds, the National Weather Service has placed much of the region under a fire danger warning through 8 p.m. Sunday. Gusty winds up to 30 mph and dry conditions have created an ideal situation for "explosive fire growth," the agency said.

A weather watch has been issued for Monday as well, when a cold front with westerly gusts to 35 mph is expected to push through the region and relative humidity will drop below 30 percent. Regional rainfall is about four inches below normal and little relief is in the forecast.

I was up at Druid Hill Park yesterday and noticed the lake seemed rather low.

Matt:

Wait till the summer. One of the global crisis's facing the world is the availability of drinking water.

Wait till people can't wash their cars or fill their pools, or better yet, wait till their tongues are parched. That is when you'll hear the screaming.

We've never been through droughts before?

I was driving up 81 in Virginia on Sunday afternoon and to the west saw part of the George Washington National Forest on fire. Did not look good. May have started as a campfire but definitely human caused according to the article. Frign' jackasses. Hope they catch them.

YB, we are seeing things occurring in the world today that were unheard of years ago. The drought in the southeastern part of the country is catastrophic.
