Damp Night

A front is stalled just to our south, and a moist southeasterly flow persists across our region. Expect continued cloudiness tonight with occasional, mostly light rain especially on the east edge of the Appalachians. The Blue Ridge will be socked in with fog. Tomorrow, the outlook remains the same, but perhaps with a bit more sun. It's all building up to Wednesday afternoon, which has the best chance of rain showers and rumbles of thunder as well.

Forecast Discussion

A cold front has settled southward through the region and the result is a cool, moist wedge across Virginia. Cloudy skies, some spotty light showers and drizzle and patchy fog will be the main weather focus for tonight.

The wedge begins to break down on Tuesday, and temperatures begin to warm back just a touch. A cold front nears on Wednesday increasing our rain chances beginning late Wednesday into Thursday. It appears that this front brings the best shot at significant rainfall for the week.

Another front moves in by late in the week keeping the rain chances with us. But the payoff comes next weekend with sunny skies for and temperature slight above average for both Saturday and Sunday.
