More organized storminess may be on the way

A thunderstorm in Buena Vista on Wednesday produced winds that blew the roofs off of two businesses in town. We've had several days of these kind of pop-up storms, where a few isolated areas get really serious storm effects while most people don't get much. By Thursday evening into Friday, there may be more organized storminess in the area as a pretty strong cold front approaches the area. The Storm Prediction Center as of Thursday evening had put most of Virginia from our area northward under a slight risk of severe weather with the expectation of storm clusters that could produce strong winds and hail. The storms are likely to linger into Friday, but then cooler and drier weather will settle in for most of the weekend into early next week, before the heat and humidity will begin to build again.
