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

.DISCUSSION...

High pressure over the Mid-Atlantic will shift offshore, 
transitioning the region to SW flow. This pattern will favor 
warmer weather for the rest of the week, peaking in the 70s and
80s for highs Tuesday and Wednesday. Increasing rain chances and 
plenty of cloud cover will lower high temperatures a bit for the
remainder of the work week. Chances for showers and thunderstorms
look best towards the end of the work week and perhaps into next
weekend as a cold front moves through.
