Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SW VA...SE WV and NW NC
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
416 AM EDT Sat Apr 25 2026

.DISCUSSION...
Clouds will increase through the morning, with an approaching 
cold front triggering showers and a few thunderstorms across 
the mountains during the afternoon, and across the Piedmont 
from mid-afternoon into this evening. Nearly all of the lower 
Mid-Atlantic will receive wetting rainfall by this evening, 
though totals for most will remain around 0.25 inch or less. 
Humidity will remain above 40 percent west of the Blue Ridge 
this afternoon given the arrival of cloudcover, but is 
forecasted to fall below 30 percent across the Piedmont given 
longer opportunity for sunshine and heating before showers and 
a few storms arrive.

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