.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.
