Chance of pcpn......0 percent.
Chance of thunder...0 percent.
Max temperature.....Around 61.
Min humidity........42 perElevated fire weather conditions are possible this afternoon due to
a combination of gusty winds and low relative humidity values. North
to northwest winds gust around 20 to 25 mph along and north of I-
66/US-50, with gusts of 15 to 20 mph to the south. Minimum RH values
are forecast to be 25 to 35 percent, with the driest (values less
than 25 percent) in the central Shenandoah Valley.

However, the strongest winds and lowest RH values do not overlap,
and fine fuels are currently just above the minimum threshold of
concern. As a result, the overall risk does not appear to reach the
level needed to issue a Fire Danger Statement at this time.cent.
Surface winds (mph).Northwest winds 6 to 9 mph.
