Thunderstorms?

I've had a few people ask me about the chances for thunderstorms on Friday and Friday night. Right now it looks like we will have limited instability (unstable=better chance for storms). If we get some breaks in the clouds and the sun heats us up, then we will have a better chance for storms in the evening.

Right now I'm looking out west at a shield of clouds headed this way, so it looks like we will see only peeks of sunshine tomorrow. I still think we will warm up enough that isolated thunderstorms will pop up.

Best chance for severe storms will be in the southwest corner of the state, where jet stream winds will be stronger.

Few Rain Showers in Southern VA Thur AM

A few scattered rain showers are moving through the Southern half of Virginia early Thursday morning, with a few sprinkles elsewhere in the state. Most of these showers will be Southeast of our area by 8 a.m.
