As a strong trough moves toward the East today, and Southwesterly flow over Virginia continues, we will have the risk for strong to severe thunderstorms in Central Virginia this afternoon and evening. Good lift will be in place across the region today ahead of this trough, and sufficient heating and low-level moisture will also be present. Highs will again be in the low- to mid-90’s in Central Virginia, with humid conditions. Threats from the strongest storms will include damaging winds and large hail, but any of these storms will produce locally heavy downpours.
The surface cool front associated with this upper storm will move into Central Virginia Saturday, with more widespread showers and storms across the area ahead of and along the boundary, which should be in far SE VA by early Sunday morning.
