Good Thursday.
After some scattered thundershowers Wednesday we’ve broken out into mostly sunny skies this morning across Central Virginia. Local satellite images show clears skies to our NW for the next few hours, but more clouds are on the way in the afternoon. On the current surface map below you can see the cold front that moved through last night and brought in the cooler air. Right now that front is situated along the eastern shore. That front will essentially stall over the next 24 hours and hang in the area.
Current-Sat Surface Map
On the forecast map below a disturbance moves into the area by late afternoon bringing clouds and the chance for showers tonight and Friday. Until we get the systems out of our area, the chances for scattered showers will remain until Friday night when skies become partly cloudy.
