Light Rain In Hanover County

Isolated light showers have developed in Hanover County this afternoon. These showers are moving to the south, so RIR could see some light rain in the next few minutes. It won't last long, so I don't expect them to delay the race for too long.

A stray shower will be possible for the rest of this evening across most of central Virginia. In addition, grab a jacket before you head out this evening - temps will drop into the mid 60s after sunset!

Tranquil Weather in the Commonwealth

The weather pattern over the Mid-Atlantic will change over the next few days, bringing a stretch of sunny and warm days to central Virginia through the middle part of next week. A subtle upper-level wave will aid in the development of a few clouds Saturday afternoon and perhaps a couple of isolated showers, but most locations will remain dry. Northwest flow in the mid and upper levels of the atmosphere for several straight days will result in warm and dry afternoons, and pleasant overnight temperatures. The pattern will break down by Wednesday, bringing more clouds and and a chance of rain back to the area. Enjoy the stretch of fine weather while it lasts!

Drizzly Morning


Drizzle and scattered light rain showers are moving westward through much of Central Virginia early Thursday morning, keeping the roads wet and requiring drivers to use their windshield wipers. The precipitation is not heavy, but it's just enough to need to allow a little extra time on your morning commute. CBS 6 Traffic Reporter Amanda Meadows says that drivers are already slowing down in the usual "hot spots" because of the wet roads and light rain.

I expect the mist and light rain to continue through the morning commute, with a reprieve from precipitation around the middle of the day today, before more scattered showers move in from the coastal low pressure system that has brought us rain through the week.
