Half & Half Weekend

I just took a look at the latest data, and it continues to suggest we will have two very different days of weather over the upcoming weekend. Rain and a few thunderstorms is a near certainty for Saturday, but the storm system will move quickly northeastward, and Sunday appears to be a mostly sunny and mild day. The rain is much needed, with Richmond currently running a deficit of more than 2" this October. So make your indoor plans for Saturday and get outside on Sunday. A modified arctic air mass will move into the area Monday afternoon, bringing several days of chilly temperatures to the area.

Much Need Rainfall Headed This Way!

We are still tracking that storm system out west, which is dumping wet snow across western Nebraska (winter storm warnings are still in effect). We are also watching down to the south, where there is a lot of energy and moisture. Parts of the Gulf Coast has been experiencing very heavy rain...especially in Florida.



The storm out west will tap into this energy and moisture from the south and could dump a lot of rain across the Mid-Atlantic on Saturday. We are keeping a close eye on this scenario and will keep you posted.

I know this is bad timing by Mother Nature - bringing rain on the weekend - but we really need it!
