Update On The James River

It looks like the James will crest about a foot above flood stage tomorrow evening. It should then drop below flood stage by Tuesday evening. Luckily it looks like the chances for rain will be very slim after tomorrow.

Scattered Showers This Morning

An upper level storm system continues to drag in some moisture this morning, so scattered showers will be possible for the next few hours. You can spot the storm's core on the map below. Rain showers have developed on the backside of this spinning system.


As the core pulls off the coast, it will drag the showers over central and eastern Virginia. During this time, showers will become more widely scattered. If you are wanting to do something outside today, I would advise you to hold off until later in the afternoon once the showers break apart.


The James River is running high this morning from Buckingham and Fluvanna counties through metro Richmond. It should crest by Monday night about 1 to 2 feet above flood stage.
