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

.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.
