.DISCUSSION...

Gusty winds today and very warm with afternoon highs into the
the 60s and 70s. Fortunately, min RH values expected to be in
the 50 percent range. However, leaf litter still remains dry
from multiple days of drying this past week, but increased
humidity should prevent rapid fire spread through tonight.

The bigger concern for fire danger arrives on Sunday behind a
mostly dry cold front passage. A few showers associated with the
front will mainly be confined to SE West Virginia. Little to no
rain expected for the Blue Ridge and east. This front will bring
very gusty northwest winds in excess of 30 mph, along with a 
much drier airmass. Temperatures Sunday afternoon will also rise
into the mid/upper 50s to low 60s in the mountains, to mid 
upper 60s east of the mountains...RH mins will drop into the 20 
percent range. This brings a heightened fire weather concern for
Sunday, nearly areawide.

Although winds will be slightly less on Monday, still will see
gusts into the 20 mph range at times. Even lower min RH values 
into the teens will result in continued heightened fire 
awareness through Monday.
