.DISCUSSION...
The combination of wind and low humidity will result in
another day of drying today. Now that we have had a widespread
deep freeze, there is a lot more material available to burn.
The really low dewpoints the last few days, typical of an Arctic
airmass, and in combination with the wind, has really dried out
the leaf litter. Leaves are crunchy and receptive to fire. A
higher level of caution is advised if burning.
Temperatures will trend warmer into the upcoming weekend.
Warmest readings are forecast along and east of the Blue Ridge
where readings will return to above normal. Caveat, there will
be some clouds and showers around and a bit higher Rh, so there
is a trade off. Winds will diminish for Friday, but increase
again over the weekend, so not totally out of the woods with
respect to wind either.
In a nutshell, several more days of heightened awareness.
As for rain potential... Little or no measurable rain is
expected until next week. There is a slight chance of showers
across the mountains this weekend.
