Are Trees Starting to Change?

I snapped this photo of a tree in our parking lot. The leaves are already changing to a deep red...and it's only mid September! Are you seeing fall colors in your neighborhood? Send me a photo: ajustus@wtvr.com

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!
