Good morning from VIR! I awoke to this view from my room at the Lodge -
There are some isolated showers around this morning, but they likely won't have an impact. Most of the day will be partly to mostly cloudy, with temperatures reaching the mid to upper 80s.
A cold front will be moving across the area from north to south today. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon, affecting the track starting around 4 pm (+/- 1 hour). The time period with the highest chance of storms is between 4 and 8 pm. Lightning and gusty winds will be the main threats from these storms, and rainfall may be heavy. Rain amounts are likely to be between a quarter and a half inch.
For Saturday, with the front located across central North Carolina and continuing to push south, there will be just a 20% chance of light showers in the morning. It will be mostly cloudy and cool through the day, with a high in the lower 70s. Winds will be from the northeast at 5-10 mph.
Mostly cloudy and cool conditions will continue on Sunday as high pressure to the north extends over the area. Highs will be in the upper 70s, with a northeast wind at 5-10 mph.
