River Levels Continue To Drop

With the exception of a downpour last Friday night, the past several days have been relatively dry. Consequently, river levels have been steadily dropping. In fact, the James is about to drop below 5' near the city.



In addition, most river and stream levels are about normal - indicated by the green dots on the map below.



Chances for rain will remain slim for most of this workweek. Isolated light showers will be possible on Tuesday and Wednesday...that's about it. For this reason, I'm expecting river levels to continue to drop heading into the upcoming Holiday weekend.

Spotty Showers

A line of widely scattered showers has entered the Virginia Piedmont and will quickly pass Richmond and Petersburg over the next hour. The atmosphere is extremely stable, so the chances for thunderstorms are very slim.

Comfortable This Morning

Temperatures were generally in the mid 60s this morning, however, Emporia and Staunton started in the upper 50s. It's been awhile since I've seen that!

We will have a mixture of sun and clouds through the rest of today with a slight chance for a stray shower in the late afternoon and evening.
