Thunderstorms In Southeast VA

A few strong thunderstorms have popped up to the southeast. These will move up into the Middle Peninsula and parts of the Northern Neck over the next hour. These storms will not affect central Virginia, though light to moderate rain will be possible until 9 PM.

Wet This Morning

Rain will continue for the next few hours and will be heavy at times. Showers will become more widely scattered later this afternoon and evening. There is still a chance for isolated thunderstorms between 4 and 9 PM for the southeastern corner of the state. I will track this scenario later in the afternoon and have another update.

Thunderstorms Tomorrow?

Rain will overspread the area tonight and persist through the first half of tomorrow. Hit-and-miss showers will then linger into the afternoon and evening. During this time period one or two thunderstorms could develop in the far southeast corner of the state. The surface low will drag in some relatively humid air...dew points could reach the upper 50s near Norfolk.


The upper low will then swing by in the late afternoon and evening.

Instability will be limited, but there should be enough lift for an isolated thunderstorm near Norfolk and areas farther south.
