An area of low pressure off the coast of North Carolina will continue to intensify Wednesday night into Thursday morning, possibly becoming Subtropical Storm Kyle during that timeframe. Expect sustained northeast winds of 20-30 mph in central Virginia on Thursday, with stronger winds across southeast Virginia, and in the higher elevations of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Wave height on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay will be in the range of 5 to 6 feet, with waves of 8 to 10 feet expected in and near Virginia Beach. A coastal flood warning is in effect for the Middle Peninsula and Hampton Roads, where minor to moderate coastal flooding is expected Wednesday afternoon through Thursday evening. Rain will move into the area Thursday morning and should continue intermittently through Saturday morning.
