Weather Update 9:40 PM

The heaviest rain will move into our area after midnight tonight with isolated thunderstorms possible. The best chances for any severe weather will stay in the southern third of the state. Although instability is limited, the shear is very strong. An isolated weak tornado could quickly develop in the strongest storms tonight, so we will be here in the Storm Center keeping a close eye to radar.

Good Soaking Headed This Way

It looks like this next storm could dump 1 to 2" in our area with even higher amounts expected in the mountains to the west. For this reason, a Flash Flood Watch is in effect through Monday morning for areas to the west.

Winter Weather Winding Down

All Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories have expired in Virginia. Cold rain will linger through much of the afternoon in Central Virginia. A few wet snowflakes may mix in at times, but no accumulation will occur as temperatures at the surface remain above freezing. Rain and drizzle will end across the area after sunset.
