Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SW VA...SE WV and NW NC
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
227 AM EDT Wed Apr 15 2026

.DISCUSSION...
Unusually warm and dry conditions will take place with record 
heat possible over the next couple of days. Some rainfall is
possible Thursday into Friday, but probabilities appear low and 
confined to the mountains. Relative humidities will fall towards 
20 to 30 percent for the next few afternoons, especially east of 
the Blue Ridge. Some southern- facing slopes may have relative 
humidities drop below 20 percent with afternoon sunshine and gusty
winds.

These aforementioned conditions will escalate fire danger 
across the entire region. The anomalous heat and low humidity 
combined with daytime gusts will only make fire containment 
increasingly difficult throughout the rest of this week. A fire
danger statement is in effect for today for parts of VA and NC. 
The next notable chance for any widespread wetting rainfall may 
not come until Sunday when a cold front arrives to bring some 
relief.
