Few Storms Possible Friday


Once again, a few strong to severe storms are possible Friday afternoon during peak heating. Ample low-level moisture remains in the Commonwealth, with an upper-level northwest flow bringing disturbances through the region. The main threats with these storms will be much like Thursday, with damaging winds and large hail. What is left of a complex of storms from the Upper Midwest this morning will move into Virginia from West Virginia through early afternoon. Those dying storms may reintensify this afternoon in Central Virginia and move into North Carolina late Friday afternoon.

There may be more scattered strong to severe storms Saturday in the Commonwealth, as well. For this reason, we are included in the Slight Risk region through Saturday as well.
