what is turning the pines brown?

I've noticed as I drive around my neighborhood, a handful of pines, mostly P. strobus, but a few other Pinus as well, have suddenly, over the last month or so, turned brown. Every needle is totally straw colored, actually.

I presume this means death for the trees, but what would be causing this? It's probably affecting about 10% of the Pinus strobus (& I saw at least one probable P. nigra affected) in the neighborhood.
