Latest radar imagery from Doppler Max 6 indicates a large area of heavy rain moving back into central Virginia. A few embedded thunderstorms will be possible, especially across southeast Virginia. Low-level shear will be enhanced as rain bands move onshore in southeast Virginia, increasing the threat for isolated tornadoes.

Tropical Storm Kyle
A disturbance north of Hispaniola has been upgraded to tropical storm Kyle as of 5 PM Thursday. Kyle is moving north at 8 mph, and that direction of movement is expected to continue over the next several days (see forecast track). Kyle could strengthen to a category 1 hurricane this weekend.

Heavier Rain Moving Into Central Virginia
A large area of moderate to heavy rain is moving westward into central Virginia. As of 2 PM, the total rainfall at RIC was 0.14, with .4 to .6 of an inch of rain being recorded on the eastern Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula. Hampton Roads, especially near Norfolk, has seen upwards of 1.5 inches of rain, with heavy rain continuing. I expect that the Richmond Metro Area will see the rainfall increasing by 2:30 PM, with an additional .5 to .75 of an inch in most areas through 5 PM.
