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

.DISCUSSION...

Dry weather is expected to linger through Monday before
additional
showers and a few thunderstorms return to the forecast for 
Tuesday and Wednesday as another cold front and low pressure 
system pass through the region.

With increased rain chances and elevated RH values this week, the
threat for fire weather concerns has diminished across the area; 
however, if a long spell of dry weather occurs across the area, 
these concerns will quickly return.
