Weather Update - Friday 5:30 PM

Widely scattered thunderstorms continue to develop across the area. The strongest storms will be capable of very heavy rain, frequent lightning, hail and some wind damage (there have been reports of tree damage in southwest and south central Virginia). The activity will slowly diminish once the sun goes down. We are covering storms live on our website at www.wtvr.com/weather. We should see another round of isolated storms on Saturday and Sunday.
