Perfect Weekend to be Outdoors

The latest data continues to suggest an ideal outdoor weekend in central Virginia. Expect lots of sunshine, warm temperatures, and light winds as high pressure remains dominant over the Mid-Atlantic. It appears as though we will have a reinforcing shot of cool air on Monday, and a chance of showers and thunderstorms on Friday. Have a great weekend!

Pinchbeck Visit


Here is a photo from a school visit I did this week at Raymond Pinchbeck Elementary School. This is Ms. Sherrill Kauffmann's fourth grade class.They had some really great weather questions. I had a blast! Plus they gave me a really pretty flower basket.

Another Tornado Confirmed from Friday's Storms

The National Weather Service conducted a survey of damage resulting from the severe thunderstorms last Friday, and determined that another EF-0 tornado moved through southeast Virginia. This was actually the first tornado of the day, occurring in an open field in Franklin, Virginia. The tornado was spawned by the same storm that later produced a tornado between Wakefield and Waverly.
