StormTracker 8: A wet finish the the weekend

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) - It was a beautiful start to the weekend and it will be a wet finish with showers and storms around today. The unsettled weather continues the next few days.

Widespread rain continues for the morning hours before slowly tapering off as we head towards lunch. A few rumbles of thunder are also possible with our biggest threat being localized flooding in poor drainage areas. Damaging winds and small isolated hail are also possible.

The lunch hour and early afternoon looks to be mainly dry with a few breaks of sun however another round of showers and storms moves in by mid afternoon. These will be scattered across the area and the risk stays with us through about 10 pm. It will be a cooler day with highs in the middle to upper 70s.

Any showers and storms end overnight and lows drop into the lower 60s.

Unsettled weather continues for Monday and Tuesday with the risk of showers and a few storms in the forecast. The biggest threat each day looks to be in the afternoon and evening hours with high temperatures near 80°.
