The Storm Prediction Center has placed Nelson County and much of Central Virginia in the slight risk area for severe weather later in the Wednesday.
The Storm Prediction Center in Oklahoma has also placed Nelson and the surrounding area in the slight risk area for severe weather later in the day Wednesday. Afternoon heating, and plenty of moisture will provide a scenario where severe thunderstorms could develop later today.
Though not a sure bet, the potential for severe weather is better today than the average late Spring day across Central Virginia.
Graduating students put on a musical presentation in their final day as students at NBS.
“The students Tuesday night were graduating from 8th grade and going on to various area high school programs,” says Bonnie Holliday, Development Director at North Branch.
As a way of saying thanks. The faculty at North Branch were presented with hand made custom pens. Two former students of NBS, Mack Pearce and Chris Wygand, made the pens from an ash tree that once stood tall on the school property.Future graduates of North Branch put on a musical presentation about geography at the graduation.
Congrats to all of the graduates at North Branch! Have a fun and safe summer!
