An end in sight to the recent stormy pattern?
After a few more showers and storms overnight and Friday morning, the front to the north is expected to finally slip southward Friday night. This should bring an end to the pattern of repeated storm clusters that we've been in for a few days. While some scattered afternoon heating-type and terrain-related showers and storms are possible through the weekend ... typical summer kind of stuff ... the threat of organized storms and severe weather will dwindle.

It's about time! We got nearly 2 more inches of rain the last 2 days, and things are sopping wet. We need some days of sunshine to dry out a bit before we get more. This has been one of the wettest month-and-a-half timeframes that I can remember where no tropical system or remnants were at play causing any of it.

The SPC's slight risk area is just south of the Roanoke/New River valleys today, down near the VA-NC border:

So maybe one more round of stormy/rainy stuff today.

It would be really neat to see an area map showing total precipitation since the wet pattern hit in April. Any chance the NWS will create it as a close out report?
