We remain in an upper-level northwest flow pattern, where upper-level disturbances continue to pulse through the region. At the surface, a low pressure system will track just to our north today. These factors will provide the lift necessary for storms, but we will also have the afternoon heating today that we did not have on Wednesday. Breaks in the clouds should occur by mid-day, allowing afternoon temperatures to rise into the mid-80's, a good ten degrees warmer than our highs on Wednesday.
Initially, storms should form in the higher terrain of Western Virginia, then track eastward into Central Virginia this afternoon. There is at least a chance for an isolated tornado, as conditions appear conducive for supporting rotating storms.
Chief Meteorologist Zach Daniel will be monitoring the threat this afternoon!
There were several tornadoes yesterday in the Plains, but here is great video of one from Aurora, Nebraska:
