June 27th Evening Forecast Video

Slow moving showers and storms will continue to push through the region tonight. The slow motion of these storms could produce locally heavy rain, meaning localized flooding and flash flooding are possible later tonight through the early morning hours of your Tuesday. A few lingering showers and storms are possible Tuesday afternoon as a cold front eases through the region. Temperatures ahead of the cold front will top out in the mid to upper 80s. A few locations could push that 90° mark.

Wednesday will be mostly sunny with forecast highs in the mid 80s, which is average for this time of year. We’ll then end the month of June with a chance for a few stray showers and storms Thursday afternoon as highs top out in the low to mid 80s. Another cold front heads our way for Friday and Saturday, increasing the rain chances and coverage around Central Virginia. This cold front then settles to the south of us for Sunday and the 4th of July. The ultimate location where the cold front stalls will greatly dictate who sees rain for the 4th and who sees drier, more average conditions for the first part of July. This will definitely be something we keep an eye on as we get closer to Patriotism in the Park next Monday evening.

Tonight: Mostly cloudy with showers slowly moving out. Lows in the upper 60s.
Tuesday: Partly cloudy with isolated afternoon thunderstorms. Highs in the upper 80s.
Wednesday: Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 80s.
Thursday: Partly cloudy with stray afternoon showers/storms. Highs in the low to mid 80s.
Friday: Partly cloudy with the chance for a few showers and storms in the afternoon. Highs in the mid 80s.
Saturday: Partly to mostly cloudy with scattered showers and storms. Highs in the middle 80s.
Sunday: Partly cloudy with showers and storms. Highs in the mid 80s.
Independence Day: Partly cloudy. Small chance of showers/storms south of Charlottesville. Highs in the mid 80s.

Have a fantastic Monday evening!

Temperatures will tumble in to the mid 60s early Saturday morning thanks to a cold front easing through the region. This cold front will help scour out the cloud cover as we go throughout the day Saturday. Some late-day sunshine will allow temperatures to top out in the low to mid 80s around the area. There will also be low humidity greeting us this weekend as well!

More sunshine is in the works Sunday afternoon with highs back in the mid to upper 80s but with low humidity. A southerly wind develops later Sunday night through Monday afternoon in advance of a cold front. This cold front will help spark off a few more showers and thunderstorms Monday afternoon with forecast highs topping out in the upper 80s to near 90 degrees. It remains to be seen, but a few of the thunderstorms Monday afternoon could be on the stronger side, so we’ll fine-tune that forecast over the weekend. A couple more showers are possible Tuesday afternoon as the cold front is slow to clear the region, but I think most will stay dry Tuesday. A dry day is in the work Wednesday and most of Thursday before another storm system provides us with the chance for another round of showers and storms to close out June and kick-off July.

Tonight: Gradual clearing. Lows in the mid 60s.
Saturday: Partly cloudy. Highs in the low to mid 80s.
Sunday: Plenty of sunshine. Highs in the mid 80s.
Monday: Partly cloudy with the chance for afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Highs in the upper 80s.
Tuesday: Partly cloudy with a stray afternoon shower or thunderstorm. Highs in the upper 80s.
Wednesday: Partly cloudy. Highs in the mid 80s.
Thursday: Partly to mostly cloudy with showers and storms possible. Highs in the low to mid 80s.
Friday: Partly cloudy with the chance for a few showers and storms in the afternoon. Highs in the mid to upper 80s.

Have a great weekend!

June 22nd 6 PM Weather

A cluster of showers and storms will develop out west tonight and surge east in the overnight. We expect the batch of storms to be over us between 4-8 AM and to be severe limits. That said, some gusty wind, heavy rain, and lightning are expected during that time-frame. We’ll then try to break out in to a bit of sunshine around lunchtime. This is *VERY* important, because the more sunshine we see, the better the chance will be for strong to severe thunderstorms across Central Virginia. If that sunshine materializes, and temperatures get in to the mid to upper 80s, we could be talking about storm dropping large hail, damaging wind gusts and an isolated tornado. Yes, all modes of severe weather are possible tomorrow afternoon *IF* we see lots of sunshine. That second round of storms will be between 3-8 PM before diving south and east.

A few more showers are possible Friday morning before we finally start to see a lot more sunshine and lower humidity in the afternoon. The lower humidity and pleasant weather conditions will hold throughout the weekend with forecast highs in the mid 80s. Another storm system arrives early next work week and provides us with another chance for showers and storms next Monday and Tuesday.

We kicked off the work week with a beautiful day. Highs topped out in the low to mid 80s under a ton of sunshine and low humidity. We'll slowly increase the heat and humidity the next few days, allowing for pop-up showers and thunderstorms starting Wednesday.

The big story this weekend is the heat. Yes, we are looking at highs back in the low to mid 90s for the first time this year. Oh, and if we get warmer than 93° at CHO today or tomorrow, it would be the warmest we've been since 2014!
