FNUS51 KRNK 291841 FWFRNK 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.
