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

.DISCUSSION...

Increased fire danger continues across the North Carolina
Piedmont 
and Foothills as low RH values around 20-25% will continue
through 
the rest of the afternoon. Dewpoints are in the 20s and winds are
around 5-10 mph, gusting to near 15 mph at times. While these
winds
are not as high as yesterday, any outdoor fires could quickly 
spread as fuels on the ground remain dry, along with downed
leaves. 

For Virginia, the Piedmont will see similar conditions, but 
dewpoints are marginally higher with more cloud cover, which will
keep temperatures lower and RH values slightly higher, lessening 
any fire danger. Areas north of I-64 have already seen rainfall. 

Most of the area will see a wetting rainfall tonight,
particularly 
west of the Blue Ridge, though the Piedmont areas will see
lighter 
amounts under a tenth of an inch. Nonetheless, the fire danger
ends 
this evening post-sunset as RH values rise. The heaviest rainfall
will be in West Virginia. Rain continues into Wednesday morning 
before clearing out by afternoon. Dry weather returns for the
late 
week before the next system arrives late Friday into Saturday, 
bringing rain chances back to the area.
