Central Virginia Blue Ridge
What’s left of Tropical Depression Debby will be affecting most of Central Virginia from Thursday afternoon into early Friday evening. Skies go partly cloudy overnight Friday with sunshine and milder temps returning for Saturday and Sunday.
Between now and then heavy, sometimes flooding, rains can be expected. They arrive late Thursday afternoon into Friday afternoon.
In addition to flooding rains mentioned above, area power companies are preparing for some outages due to rains soaked ground with trees uprooting from breezy conditions as Debby blows through.
As Virginia prepares for Tropical Storm Debby, I declared a state of emergency to mobilize resources and equipment needed for response efforts. I urge all Virginians to stay informed and alert as this storm moves up the east coast. https://t.co/MdmTpOu1Uw

Locally Nelson County decided to postpone the start of school opening until next week.
We’ll continue to watch Debby as she moves through the area and update as necessary.
