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

.DISCUSSION...

Widespread wetting rain has occurred across the region today, 
with widespread rainfall totals of 0.4" to up to 1.0". This new 
rainfall should mitigate the dry airmass and any fire weather 
concerns across the area that will return to the region on Monday.
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 next week 
starting on Monday and continuing through Wednesday, with gusty 
winds on Monday and 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.
