Elevated fire weather conditions are probable Sunday afternoon across portions of central Virginia in the lee of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The cold front currently pushing across the Great Plains is expected to reach the Mid-Atlantic by early Sunday, pushing well offshore by early afternoon. This will establish a northwesterly offshore flow regime across the region with downslope winds off the Blue Ridge Mountains likely reaching to around 15 mph based on recent ensemble/deterministic consensus. These solutions also suggest that very little rainfall is likely with the frontal passage, which will help maintain ongoing drought conditions and keep ERC values near the 90th percentile. With RH reductions to near 25% likely by peak heating, elevated to locally critical fire weather conditions appear probable. ..Moore.. 11/15/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$
