Heavy Rain Monday Morning

Very heavy rainfall greeted many of you in Central Virginia for your Monday morning! Totals ranged from as little as a trace to as much as an inch or more in some spots. Officially at RIC, there was 0.43" accumulated. Farmville is an example of the higher totals, though, with 1.1" from this morning's rain.

There is a slight chance for scattered showers this afternoon, but we should be dry by this evening in all of Central Virginia. Tuesday looks dry before our next chance of rain and storms returns Wednesday and Thursday.

Brief Shift In Weather Pattern

We did it! We finally made it through a day without rain. Hope you enjoyed your Sunday!

We have an interesting weather pattern setting up for the start of the workweek. The general flow will be from the coast for Monday through Wednesday. This should keep temperatures a few degrees cooler than what we've seen for the past few days.



This will also bring in some moisture from the Atlantic. Consequently, spotty showers will be possible tomorrow and we should at least see some clouds on Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm still a little skeptical about our rain chances on Tuesday or Wednesday, but if you have outdoor plans, keep a close eye to the forecast and we will keep you updated!

Strong Storms In The Piedmont

Strong storms are now moving through southern Cumberland, Prince Edward, and northern Charlotte counties. These are moving to the southeast at 30 to 35 mph. These thunderstorms will move into Amelia, Nottoway and Lunenburg counties in the next 15 to 30 minutes. You can expect strong wind gusts and frequent lightning with these storms. Some small hail will also be possible with the strongest storms.
