.DISCUSSION...
...Slightly gusty winds...
...Minimum RH values somewhat low this afternoon...
Afternoon minimum RH values drop into the upper 20s to mid 30s
today for the southern half of the forecast area. Westerly wind
gusts up to 15 knots are forecast this afternoon into early
evening. This could make for a brief period of slightly enhanced
fire weather conditions. This would be most impactful in the
higher elevations where winds will be highest and where potential
fire growth would be amplified in terrain features. While tree
canopies have dropped most of their leaves and there is plenty of
fuel on the ground, much of the areas east of the Blue Ridge have
not experienced a widespread killing freeze (although they may
later this week) which would make for more burnable, cured
vegetation. Thus a Fire Danger Statement was not issued.
Minimum RH values increase slightly on Wednesday, as moisture
moves back into the area. The next rain chances arrive on
Thursday, with best chances west of the Blue Ridge. Rain lingers
into Friday for the mountains, with temperatures falling to below
normal and even some upslope snow possible late Thursday into
Saturday with strong northwesterly flow.
