There were several reports of wind damage and large hail in central Virginia today, as storms moved through during the afternoon and evening hours. 15 minutes of ping pong ball sized hail was reported near Partlow in southern Spotsylvania county, and downed trees were reported in King George and Surry counties. A waterspout reported by storm spotters as "unusually large" developed just off the coast of Virginia Beach.
Friday should bring just as many fireworks to the Commonwealth, and then some. Plentiful low-level moisture and 90-degree afternoon heat will combine to produce thunderstorms capable of large hail and damaging wind gusts. The storms will develop in the afternoon and evening hours and should be scattered in nature. Another episode of severe weather will be possible late Friday night into early Saturday morning as a fast-moving complex of storms moves from northwest to southeast across the state. This complex would be the remains of numerous severe storms expected to develop in the Upper Midwest and Southern Great lakes region Friday afternoon. I've included the current severe weather outlook for Friday, and meteorologist Carrie Rose will have the updated outlook(s) Friday morning.
