.DISCUSSION...


Key Message:

1) Elevated fire weather conditions are expected again Thursday. 

The combination of wind and low humidity will result in 
good drying conditions. In spite of recent precipitation, leaf 
litter will dry quickly, becoming crunchy and receptive to fire.

Temperatures will trend warmer, and this combined with gusty 
west winds and low humidity will contribute to an increase in 
fire danger across the region, but especially along and east of
the Blue Ridge where temperatures will be the warmest. Wind 
gusts of 15 to 25 mph will be common Thursday. Humidity 
recovery tonight will be relatively poor along the ridgetops. 

Thursday remains a concern, with the peak potential for fire 
concerns during the afternoon when the vapor pressure deficits 
are the highest. Winds are forecast to diminish by Friday, 
lessening the effects of fire spread. However, Friday and into 
the upcoming weekend are expected to be warmer than normal with 
highs in the 60s/70s, favoring good burning conditions.

Little or no measurable rain is expected until next week. There
is a slight chance of showers across the mountains this weekend.
