.DISCUSSION...
Marginal fire weather concerns for today given the above normal
temperatures and breezy winds in the 15 to 20 mph range, with
minimum RH values in the 25 to 35 percent range. Main areas for
any concerns would be along the ridges where winds could be on
the higher end, and any southern facing slopes where locally
lower RHs may be observed. 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.
Winds will be even lighter Wednesday, gusts between 10 to 15 mph,
and RH will be slightly higher, as moisture moves into the area
ahead of a cold front. Rain returns by Thursday morning and
continues through the day, with a transition to upslope snow
showers by Friday. Persistent northwesterly flow will keep the
snow showers over the mountains into the weekend, along with
temperatures in the 30s and 40s during the day, and in the 20s
overnight. Strong northwesterly winds gusting in the 20 to 30 mph
range continue into the weekend.
