Do I Sound Like A Broken Record?

You guessed it...we have the chance for more scattered thunderstorm development Thursday afternoon and evening as another upper-level wave swings through the region. Ample low-level moisture remains in place, along with very warm afternoon temperatures. When you combine that with the lift from the approaching storm system, you can get strong to severe thunderstorms developing. There will be the potential this afternoon and tonight for severe storms capable of producing damaging winds and large hail, as well as torrential rainfall on already saturated soil from recent heavy rains.

At this time, it does appear that most of the activity will move in from western parts of the state late this afternoon and sweep through the I-95 region tonight. However, isolated showers and thunderstorms are also possible in Central and Eastern Virginia this afternoon during peak heating.
