Hurricane Season Starts Monday

Tomorrow...June 1st...is the official start to the 2009 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Right now the tropics are very quiet, but we will be watching off the eastern coast of Florida for some potential development later this week (wind shear will be weak in this area).

Instability Showers

Isolated showers have again popped up in the area. This time they have developed in northern Hanover and King William counties. These type of showers will be possible across the entire area until after sunset.

Given the fact that these showers are very isolated, the chances for rain will remain slim. I will have an update during the 6:30 PM newscast!

Rain Likely This Morning

A line of showers and isolated thunderstorms has now entered into Central Virginia. These are racing to the east at 40 mph. Although I'm not expecting these storms to cause widespread damage, we should see strong wind gusts and very heavy rain while they pass. I will be tracking them during the morning newscast from 6 to 8 AM, see you there!
