DISCUSSION
..ELEVATED FIRE DANGER FOR EASTERN PANHANDLE OF WV TODAY
TODAY WILL BE THE DRIEST DAY REGIONWIDE, BEHIND THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE FROM EARLIER IN THE MORNING. RH VALUES COULD DROP INTO
THE UPPER TEENS TO 20S ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. WINDS WILL BE
LOWER COMPARED TO YESTERDAY, BUT WILL REMAIN SOMEWHAT ELEVATED,
ESPECIALLY ALONG/NEAR THE INTERSTATE 66 CORRIDOR, WHERE 20-35
MPH WIND GUSTS CAN BE EXPECTED. A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT MAY BE
NEEDED. GIVEN WETTING RAINS ON THURSDAY, FUEL MOISTURES MIGHT BE
HIGH ENOUGH TO QUELL MORE WIDESPREAD FIRE DANGER.
GUSTY WINDS BUT INCREASING RHS ARE FORECAST SUNDAY AHEAD OF ANOTHER
FRONT, WHICH LOOKS TO BRING WETTING RAINS SUNDAY EVENING/NIGHT.
THERE IS LESS OF A THREAT SUNDAY, BUT ANY ONGOING FIRES COULD FEEL
THE IMPACTS OF SOME GUSTY SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW (20-30 MPH GUSTS).
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LOOK LIKELY ON MONDAY BEFORE STRONG WEST-
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS OVERSPREAD THE AREA MONDAY EVENING INTO
TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
