Few Showers & Storms This Afternoon

After a round of heavy rain moved through Central Virginia this morning, only isolated showers and thunderstorms will affect the area this afternoon. All of these continue to move northward at about 35-40 mph, and the storms can produce locally heavy rainfall, wind gusts to 40 mph, small hail, and frequent lightning. Severe threat will continue to be low, but because of clearing skies in some locations, that will allow the atmosphere to destabilize a bit and could generate some pretty strong to borderline severe storms this afternoon.
Officially at the Richmond International Airport, 0.19" of rain fell this morning. It looks like most locations received less than a half-inch of rainfall this morning.
