Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SW VA...SE WV and NW NC
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
326 AM EDT Sun Apr 26 2026

.DISCUSSION...

There will be early morning fog west of the Blue Ridge, but should
quickly burn off once the sun comes up, and drier air begins to 
flow in. The wetting rain on Saturday and cooler temperatures behind 
a front will limit fire danger Sunday.

Additional showers and a few thunderstorms are forecasted for 
Tuesday and Wednesday as another low pressure system passes 
across the region. 

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 will quickly return.
