Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SW VA...SE WV and NW NC
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
131 PM EST Mon Feb 9 2026

.DISCUSSION... 

Dry weather is expected into Tuesday. A midweek system may bring 
some rain to SE West Virginia, SW Virginia, and North Carolina. 
Temperatures increase through Tuesday, but will be closer to 
normal the remainder of the week. Increasing chances of 
precipitation are expected next weekend. 

With high temperatures expected to be above freezing this week, 
significant melting areawide is expected. This should increase 
soil moisture and leave behind moist ground cover across the 
region as it does melt. Given these conditions, there are no fire 
weather concerns at this time.
