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

.DISCUSSION...

Dry weather continues through the beginning of next week. Temperatures
will remain near seasonal normals, with highs in the 60s and 70s,
and lows in the 30s and 40s. Minimum RH values look to drop into
the 20-30 percent range over the next couple of days as afternoon
mixing of dry air aloft allows for slightly lower RH's through
peak heating. Some localized RH values in the teens can't be ruled
out. 

No measurable rainfall is anticipated through the seven day 
forecast, and is not looking likely through the end of the month.
There are currently no fire weather concerns at this time.
