A few strong to severe thunderstorms
Posted Jun24, 2007 at 07:00 PM
Hail up to 1 inch in diameter was reported at Fairlawn in Pulaski County and some wind damage has occurred in storms from Grayson County southward. Blacksburg had 0.88-inch hail, according to one report from the public, and that same storm moved over the Roanoke Valley, prompting a severe thunderstorm warning, though the storm weakened as it moved over. Still, some lightning, heavy rain and a few stiff breezes in parts of the Roanoke metro area.
When we're dealing with the kind of heat and humidity we're going to have this week, it is not surprising to have some severe storms from time to time. Again, each day this week, some people will get strong storms, others will just hear thunder in the distance. The pattern still looks to turn cooler and drier by late in the week.
