.DISCUSSION...
Most of the service area received a wetting rainfall earlier
this morning. Totals were highest along & west of I-77, where at
least 0.75" fell, with amounts then tapering down further east
to less than 0.25" falling along the crest of the Blue Ridge and
points eastward.
Fire weather concerns are likely to be lower today than in past
days considering the rainfall this morning moistened fuels.
Winds will be less than 10 mph from the southwest, occurring
under a mixture of high clouds and sunshine and minimum
afternoon humidity holding above 40 percent.
A strong cold front will pass across the lower Mid-Atlantic on
Sunday afternoon and evening, bringing sharply colder air and
breezy northwest winds to the area for Monday through Tuesday
night. Fire weather concerns will increase early in the week as
daytime gusts will range from 25 mph to locally 35 mph across
the mountains, and from 15 mph to locally 25 mph across the
Piedmont from Monday into Wednesday. This will be combined with
mostly clear skies areawide, and minimum humidity potentially
falling to 30 percent or lower across the Piedmont, all of which
will support the drying of fuels.
