Deja Vu All Over Again

You are not experiencing deja vu when looking at the forecast; we just don't expect much change in the daily conditions for the next week. We expect warm and dry conditions through Saturday even though Saturday has the slightest chance of an afternoon shower. Sunday looks to have a decent coverage of afternoon storms. There is only a slight chance of afternoon storms Monday. Tuesday is dry and the chances for afternoon storms increase for the middle of next week. Temperatures will be slightly above average for the week.

It's That Time!

Forecast Discussion

High pressure controls our weather through Saturday with warm and dry conditions. On Sunday, a cold front moves toward western VA from the northeast providing afternoon cloud build ups and scattered showers and thundershowers.

The cold front fades but there is enough instability left over Monday for a few afternoon showers and thundershowers. Tuesday looks dry under the influence of high pressure and moisture returns Wednesday so we'll have scattered afternoon showers and thundershowers. Temperatures will not change much from day to day and they will be slightly above average.
