Rain Likely This Morning

A line of showers and isolated thunderstorms has now entered into Central Virginia. These are racing to the east at 40 mph. Although I'm not expecting these storms to cause widespread damage, we should see strong wind gusts and very heavy rain while they pass. I will be tracking them during the morning newscast from 6 to 8 AM, see you there!

Showers Headed This Way

Spotty showers are just to the west of the Blue Ridge and are headed this way. Once they pass the mountains, they will weaken; however, I still expect some rain to make it into central Virginia tonight. Showers will linger into tomorrow morning, then taper by the afternoon.

Isolated Showers In The Area

Two or three showers have developed this afternoon and are quickly moving to the southeast. If you encounter one of these showers, expect a brief downpour and maybe a clap of thunder. Chances for rain will otherwise remain very slim for the rest of the afternoon and evening.
