Unless you are a sound sleeper, you probably heard the thunderstorms rolling through Central Virginia overnight. None were severe, but they certainly had a lot of heavy rain and lightning! In fact, these storms produced around 3/4 of an inch as they moved through. At Richmond International Airport, 0.8" of rain was recorded between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m.
These scattered storms have continued to move eastward through the state through the early, pre-dawn hours, but have never strengthened to become severe. Still, though, they continue to produce heavy rainfall that leads to brief flooding, frequent lightning, gusty winds to 40 mph, and small hail at times.
