7 Day Forecast Discussion

*** STORMY AFTERNOONS FOR HOLIDAY WEEKEND... ***

.....A cold front will drop into Virginia over the weekend and stall. A weak trough of low pressure will form over the Midlands. The pattern will result in an increasing chance for rain over the weekend.

.....The best chance for rain will be on Sunday as scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected during the afternoon and early evening hours. There could be locally heavy downpours with some of the storms. This pattern will persist into the beginning of next week. However, the pattern will be one more typical of July. There will be a chance for thunderstorms each day through Wednesday, but they will be "hit and miss" type storms.

.....There is a higher than average confidence in the forecast until the weekend. The extent of the thunderstorm activity is a little uncertain. However, it appears that the best chance for rain will be on Sunday.
