Today’s weather photo sent by faithful reader and photographer, Ann Strober of Nellysford, is fitting. Looks more like something we’d have up in the Spring! Today will feel like Spring for one last time, then we’re going to go back to late Fall and early Winter. Before I get way off into the upcoming Thanksgiving Day forecast, I have to thank Chuck Strauss for his nice comments he sent along about our NCL site here and accompanying Nelson County Life Magazine. Chuck also had a little fun with my hawk vs turkey vulture comments. You can read it all by clicking here. But again Chuck thank you for sending along your kind remarks, it’s nice to hear!
Wednesday will be way above normal temperature wise, for that fact so was Tuesday. The sun came out and warmed many areas into the lower 70’s. Today will make the mid 70’s in many locations. By tonight changes will be on the way for Thanksgiving Day. Rain is in the forecast for a large portion of the Eastern U.S. Thursday, including Central Virginia and Nelson. This rain doesn’t look very impressive, but everyone should see some showers. We may even hear an isolated clap of thunder early Thursday. A rain / snow mix is possible on the back side in the higher elevations say above 2500 feet as the colder air comes in behind the front Friday morning. But nothing to be concerned over at this point. A much more impressive rain looks to be on the way Sunday into Monday with generous amounts. Points south of Nelson may actually see some freezing rain on Saturday night into Sunday morning as moisture moves into the area there from the south. Warm air will eventually move in turning it all to rain. Hard to predict this far out, but worth watching.
By next week rain continues into Tuesday with slowly warming temperatures by mid-week.
