Winds Weaken A Little...For Now

Wind gusts were as strong as 37 mph earlier this evening. Gusts have dropped to around 24 mph in the last hour and will weaken a little more later tonight. Once the sun rise tomorrow morning, winds will strengthen from the west 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph. Winds will then diminish around 7 PM tomorrow evening.

Threat For Severe Weather Is Gone

Dry air has punched into central Virginia, so the chance for any thunderstorms has now diminished. The rest of today will be windy, warm and dry.

Check out what this storm system left behind in the Midwest. Late Friday and into Saturday, this storm dumped over two feet of snow just west of Wichita! Denver received 3 to 6" with near 12" in the foothills. Kansas City also picked up a quick 2 to 5".

Isolated Showers This Morning

A few light rain showers have popped up across the area, especially west of I-95. We are also seeing a light shower here at the WTVR studios in the West End of Richmond. These showers are quickly lifting to the northeast and we will gradually dry off by late morning.

Isolated thunderstorms will still be possible into the afternoon. The best chances for any severe thunderstorms will be east of I-95, however, the chances are looking less and less.

We will continue to monitor the situation and have more updates.

Patchy Dense Fog This Morning

As warm air surges into our area, some patches of dense fog have developed west of I-95. Visibilities in Farmville and Lynchburg are less than one mile. Strong winds will mix out most of this fog by 9 AM.
