Yet another storm cluster moving toward Roanoke
Weather service radar, about 3 p.m.
The third very similar storm cluster in the last 24 hours appears to be headed through the New River and Roanoke valleys over the next hour or so. These storms, like those that moved through about 5 p.m. on Thursday and about noon today, pose primarily a threat of strong, gusty winds and some hail up to penny size.
I was out in the brunt of the midday storm and got some photos I will post later tonight.
A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for most of Virginia until 8 p.m. as a moderately unstable air mass and some wind support aloft are firing storm clusters capable to strong winds and large hail.
