Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SW VA...SE WV and NW NC
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
207 PM EDT Wed Apr 23 2025

.DISCUSSION...

A weak stationary front across the NC/VA border this morning will
continue south today, but looks to provide a focus for storm
activity across NW NC this afternoon where upslope flow east of
the Appalachians will help with storm development today. The
remainder of the area looks to stay dry today. Expect the 
possibility of showers and a few thunderstorms to remain in the 
forecast through the remainder of the week, until a cold front 
passes across the region on Saturday. Dry weather will return 
for the start of next week as high pressure passes from the 
Great Lakes across the Northeast states. 

Minimum RH values in the upper 20s to low 30s across VA today
will 
improve each day as moisture advection takes place across the
area. 
with upper 30s to low 40s minimum RH values forecast Thursday,
and 
low to mid 50s forecast for Friday.
