Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SW VA...SE WV and NW NC

.DISCUSSION...
...Dry Weather Through The Week...

Dry high pressure will be over the area for the remainder of
the week. This will result in an extended period of drying 
with no chance of rain until at least Saturday, and even 
Saturday's chance does not look meaningful. The airmass that 
is over the area is very dry. Humidity minimums will likely 
test 20%, and in some areas dip into the teens during the 
afternoon, especially south facing slopes. Southeast winds
could gust to 20 mph across the mountains this afternoon, but
overall winds will be around 10 mph or less into Thursday. In 
spite of the diminishing wind, a variance may be required for 
prescribed fire due to the low humidity forecast.
