Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SW VA...SE WV and NW NC
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
221 AM EDT Fri Apr 24 2026
.DISCUSSION...
Mainly dry conditions are expected today with temperatures 10
to 15 degrees above normal. Afternoon humidity minimums will
continue to favor readings between 20 and 30 percent, so until
we receive a wetting rain, expect control challenges with any
new fire start.
The last week of April is looking wetter. A series of fronts
are expected to bring some needed moisture to the area. The next
notable chance of rain is Saturday.
