Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SW VA...SE WV and NW NC
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
235 AM EDT Mon Apr 6 2026

.DISCUSSION...

Near seasonal temperatures forecast through much of the coming 
week; however, a reinforcing shot of cold air looks to bring
below average temperatures to the region Tuesday and Wednesday. 

Minimum RH values will drop into the 20-30% range each day this week 
continuing through Wednesday, with gusty 
winds through Tuesday up to 20mph forecast. Southerly winds
return to the area Thursday and Friday, which will also return 
some moisture back into the region subsequently increasing
minimum RH values areawide, which should help mitigate some  
fire weather concerns by the end of the week.
