Central Virginia Blue Ridge
Severe thunderstorms made their way across the Blue Ridge Mountains during the early afternoon hours on Tuesday. One of the hardest hit areas was between Fishersville and Staunton where several powerline poles were snapped from high winds.

The severe weather threat has ended for our area as of Tuesday afternoon. To add to the crazy weather we go from thunderstorms to a Freeze Watch for some parts of the Blue Ridge on Wednesday evening. No that wasn’t a typo. You can read more about it by clicking here!
