DESPITE A LOW MOVING THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST, NO MEASUREABLE RAIN FELL IN MOST OF HAMPTON ROADS… RAINFALL CHANCES ARE LOW OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS
Just a quick mid-week post to get everyone up to date with the weather pattern… A low pressure system that was supposed to bring some rain to Hampton Roads (especially the Southside), failed to bring any significant rain to our region on Wednesday. It may have looked like rain at times, but the dry air won out. Southern NC did get the rain. The low will move out to sea Wednesday night. On Thursday, a cold front may bring an isolated thunderstorm to some spots. Otherwise, the weather over the next several days should be season and dry for the most part. The weekend looks great from this vantage point. Next week, a trough is expected to develop over the center of the nation. With a high off the coast, a S-SW wind should bring an increase in humidity which may bring a shower or storm later in the week. We have to watch the tropics since it is mid-August. And there are a couple of areas being watched in the Central and Western North Atlantic Ocean. I’ll have a full post on Saturday.
** In the event of severe weather in you area, please consult the official National Weather Service forecast office for any severe weather watches or warnings in your area at Weather.gov.
