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.
