Heavy Rain Expected Through Saturday


Rain showers will continue off and on through the day Friday, but a round of heavy rain is expected tonight through Saturday morning in Central Virginia. Several inches of rainfall is possible, with isolated totals up to 5" in the Watch area. Heavy rain will result from moisture streaming in from the Atlantic and Gulf, combined with a potent upper-level low pressure system slowly tracking eastward out of the Midwest. In addition, a surface low will develop and track over eastern Virginia, further aiding the likelihood of heavy rain.
