Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SW VA...SE WV and NW NC
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
241 PM EDT Tue Apr 29 2025

.DISCUSSION...

A cold front approaching the area late tonight will bring rain
chances back to the area, and is expected to become stalled
over the area through the end of the week. This will bring 
increased rain chances; however, accumulated rainfall amounts 
look to remain low as activity remains scattered to isolated in 
nature. Late Saturday moisture looks to exit the area with a
secondary cold front pushing through the area, and this will 
usher in drier air and high pressure on Sunday and into the 
early next week.

Minimum RH values will trend upward over the next several days as 
low level moisture continues to push northward into the region. This 
will lower any fire weather potential; however, there are still some
fire weather concerns given the dry conditions over the last month.
