.DISCUSSION...

Key Message:

1) Gusty and dry conditions increase tonight and into Sunday.

2) A Fire Weather Watch has been issued for much of SW and south
   central Virginia and portions of NW North Carolina. 

As the approaching cold front ushers in dry air and gusty winds
on Sunday, fire weather concerns increase across the area. 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. Given this threat, a fire weather watch has been
issued for much of the area on Sunday. 

Although winds will be slightly less on Monday, the area will
still 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.
