Severe thunderstorm watch in effectPosted Sep28, 2006 at 02:41 PMUPDATE 6:20 P.M.: The severe thunderstorm watch has been lifted for our area, as the strong storms have pushed east out of the area. A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 8 p.m. for the Roanoke and New River valleys and points south. A line of thunderstorms is moving into the area from the west, and some of these storms could put out damaging winds and hail larger than 3/4 inches in diameter. This is some more of that cool, dry air from Canada colliding with warm, sticky air from the Gulf of Mexico. Follow the latest warnings and radar on the National Weather Service-Blackburg's Web site. |
