Today was the 6th straight day we have had severe thunderstorms in central Virginia, and we have a good chance of that streak continuing on Wednesday. This time of year usually brings us our highest number of severe events, with more tornadoes reported in July than any other month (outside of hurricane-spawned tornadoes). Rich low-level moisture and a steady stream of weak upper-level disturbances embedded within southwesterly flow will bring at least a slight chance of strong to severe thunderstorms to central Virginia over through the next 7 days. Thanks to CBS 6 viewer Matt Baker for sending in the above photo of lightning near New Kent today.
