Weather journalist Kevin Myatt has issued this updated forecast for tonight’s high school football games (Salem is at William Fleming, Glenvar is at William Byrd):

UPDATED, 5: 15 p.m.:

Most of the rain has gone north of Southwest Virginia today, and storms have developed mostly to the south and east. Radar does show a few showers and patches of rain that might move through, so rain gear would still be wise, but many games will probably get in dry tonight.

This is a revision from this morning’s update:

Rain chances have increased for tonight. A cold front has not made as much progress eastward as earlier projected, and clusters of showers and storms from Kentucky will move through Southwest Virginia later today, possibly lingering into this evening. So definitely take those ponchos and umbrellas to high school football games.
