Large area of rain headed our way
National Weather Service regional radar, 10:15 a.m.
It has shown some signs of weakening, but a broad area of rain and thunderstorms is headed our way, crossing from West Virginia into Virginia. This is probably the largest area of rain that we've had coming at us in at least a couple of months. If it can hold together reasonably well, most everyone in Southwest Virginia will see some rain today. This rain is caused by the combination of a weak cold front, an upper-level disturbance and the remnants of Hurricane Dolly. The clouds (already here) and rain may arrive early enough to squelch the daytime heating that could fire stronger thunderstorms; those may occur farther east.
