Strong wind gusts, heavy rain possiblePosted May28, 2007 at 10:07 AMMuch of Virginia from here eastward and northward has a slight risk of severe weather today, according to the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., primarily for the threat of strong wind gusts. A similar episode of storms, triggered by a weak cold front and heat and humidity, triggered numerous reports of wind damage through northern and eastern Virginia on Sunday. Also of note this weekend: Roanoke Regional Airport received a Saturday afternoon deluge of 1.34 inches of rain in an isolated thunderstorm, while much of the rest of the Roanoke Valley got little or no rain. I drove right smack into that downpour on the last leg of my trip ... I guess that was the last "storm intercept" of the 2007 storm chase. |
