Strong storm could affect Roanoke Valley if it holds together

svrstorm0626.png

One thunderstorm this afternoon, now moving into Montgomery County, has put down some pretty big hail, up to .88 inch in diameter, and some strong winds that have caused some damage in Giles County. If this storm holds together, it may affect the Roanoke Valley after 5 p.m. A severe thunderstorm warning now includes the southwestern corner of Roanoke County. Blacksburg should be feeling the effects before then, perhaps even right now.

As always, please leave a comment or email me if you experience any significant weather.
