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

.DISCUSSION...
By tomorrow, another more potent surface low looks to push north
of the region. This looks to bring more widespread rainfall to the
region, with upwards of 0.5"-0.75" of new rainfall for the
region. If this precipitation occurs, ground fuels will likely
become more impervious to the spread of fire as this rainfall will
likely be able to reach forest sub-layers compared to Tuesdays
rainfall.
Overall, with increased rain chances and elevated RH values this
week, the threat for fire weather concerns has diminished across
the area; however, if a long spell of dry weather occurs across
the area, these concerns could return.
