Increasing chances for rain ahead, with a few storms Friday
Tonight provides mostly clear skies. We still have a small window of viewing for the Lyrids Meteor Shower, which will wrap up this weekend! Temperatures will be a little milder tonight with a southeast wind flow instead of the northerly breeze we saw last night, with lows in the mid 50s. Thursday sees our stalled front that has been draped across the Virginia/North Carolina border the last couple of days begin to nudge its way back closer to the region, and that will attempt to throw a couple of more showers our way. Overall, it's a mostly dry day with only a scattered shower or two with highs in the low 70s. Friday provides a better risk for scattered showers and thunderstorms as that front lifts north as a warm front. One or two strong thunderstorms will be possible along this warm front, though the dynamics at play are not as strong as recent severe weather episodes. That being said, a strong storm or two amidst scattered showers cannot be ruled out, though it's a low risk overall, with high temperatures in the mid 70s. The best chance for a storm or two will be in the middle afternoon. Showers will increase in coverage as a front approaches during the overnight hours, making for a wet stretch to begin the weekend. Severe Weather Awareness Week 2025 Saturday begins on a wet note with a cold front crossing during the morning. Widespread showers are a good bet with clouds and an overall gross start to the day. However, the day will improve weather-wise with time and the late afternoon should be solid! It'll be cooler with highs in the mid 60s. Sunday features plenty of sunshine with high temperatures rebounding to near 70 degrees with plenty of sun expected. Monday sees high pressure still in control with plenty of sunshine expected and highs in the mid 70s in what is shaping up to be another gorgeous day. StormTracker 59 Travel Forecast Tuesday sees a front approaching late in the day, but we should remain dry before dark. We will warm up out ahead of the front, with highs jumping up into the mid to upper 70s. Wednesday provides more chances for scattered showers and a rumble or two with highs in the low 70s. Looking ahead in your extended forecast, there will be chances for rain Thursday and Friday with a series of systems. No particular day is a washout with plenty of dry time expected. We will dry out for Saturday! Highs will be above normal in the 70s. TONIGHTMostly clear. Warmer. Lows in the mid showers. Highs in the low scattered storms. Highs in the mid rain, late day drying. Highs in the mid sunny. Highs near sunny. Highs in the mid sunny. Highs near showers. Highs in the mid likely. Highs in the low chances continue. Highs near sunny. Highs in the low 70s.

A brief isolated sprinkle is possible early on in our Virginia counties, but that threat will end before midnight.

Warm ahead with better chances for showers looming
Tonight sees showers and thunderstorms pass through the region with a cold front crossing, mainly before midnight. Unfortunately, with the clouds and showers around, that will deter viewing chances for the peak of the Lyrids Meteor Shower tonight – perhaps check it out tomorrow night!

As a result we will see mostly cloudy skies with a few peaks of sun peaking through during the afternoon. High temperatures will be a touch cooler around 70 degrees, but the air mass behind this front overall is not much cooler. Our cold front will stall across the Virginia/North Carolina border Tuesday night and remain positioned there over the next 24 to 48 hours. That will create a bit of a split forecast ahead during that period.
