TEST EVENT THAT THEY DID. >>A NEW COLD WAR MOVING FROM THE GROUND
TO SPACE.
TOM COSTELLO NBC NEWS, COLORADO
SPRINGS.
>>YOUR LOCAL WEATHER
WITH ARE ALWAYS WATCHING AND
TRACKING FOR YOU FROM THE G E S
WEATHER CENTER.
>>ATTENTION SKY WATCHERS WE’VE GOT THE PERSEIDS METEOR SHOWER PEAKING SATURDAY NIGHT GOING
INTO SUNDAY MORNING.
YOU WANT TO LOOK TO THE
NORTHERLY SKY.
A LITTLE BIT
BEFORE MOONRISE IDEALLY WE
WOULD SEE 50 TO 100 METEORS AND
THE WEATHER WILL COOPERATE.
BUT LET’S GET BACK TO
THIS MOONRISE WE’RE ALWAYS
GOING TO HAVE AN NEAR A FULL
MOON AROUND SATURDAY NIGHT SO
THAT
COULD INTERFERE WITH YOUR
VIEWING OF ANY OF THESE METERS
MAKE IT TO PRY TO IN THE SKY TO
ACTUALLY SEE THAT.
HERE’S A LOOK AT THE REGIONAL
VIEW AND YOU’LL NOTICE THAT WE
DO HAVE ONE OR 2 LITTLE SHOWERS
NEAR CHARLOTTESVILLE BUT THE
BULK OF THE RAIN
AND THUNDERSTORMS OUT WEST
THAT’S WHERE WE HAVE A COLD
FRONT THAT’S WHERE WE HAVE THE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG
THE OHIO
RIVER VALLEY, WHAT’S THE WEST
EVENTUALLY WORK ITS WAY EAST SO
WE’RE GOING TO HAVE
CERTAINLY THE CHANCE FOR SOME
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AS WE HEAD
INTO WEDNESDAY.
NO LOWER LEVEL AS WE HEAD EVEN
INTO THE DAY ON THURSDAY,
HERE’S A LOOK AT FUTURE TRACKER
AND AS WE GO INTO TONIGHT SKIES
WILL BE REALLY NOTHING WORSE
AND
PARTLY CLOUDY.
WEDNESDAY STARTS DRY WITH
SOME SUNSHINE.
BUT LOOK WHAT HAPPENS AS WE
HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON ONCE WE
GET BEYOND ABOUT NOON OUR WATER
START TO SEE A
FEW LITTLE SHOWERS DEVELOPING
THOSE FEW SHOWERS BECOME
NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS AS WE
HAD SAY AROUND
DINNER TIME THE ACTIVITY WILL
WIND DOWN FOR US HERE AS
WE HEAD.
LATE TOMORROW EVENING.
SO ROUGHLY FROM ABOUT 01:00PM
THROUGH ABOUT 11:00PM THAT’S
OUR BEST CHANCE
TO HAVE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ON WEDNESDAY AS I
TOLD YOU IN THE TOP
WEATHER HIT.
ANY OF THESE STORMS THAT FORM
COULD BE VERY EFFICIENT
RAINFALL PRODUCERS PROBABLY
HAVE A LOT OF LIGHTNING IN
THESE THUNDERSTORMS AND WE
COULD HAVE A COUPLE THAT EVEN
HAVE SOME WIND
AND HAIL THE FRONT WILL
CONTINUE TO MAKE ITS WAY
THROUGH THE REGION ON THURSDAY,
SO THURSDAY MORNING WE MAY
ACTUALLY HAVE SOME ISOLATED
SHOWERS TO TRACK AND THEN AS WE
HEAD INTO THURSDAY AFTERNOON, THE FRONT IS GOING TO MOVE FROM THE NORTHWEST TO
THE SOUTHEAST.
SO THE LAST FOLKS TO GET RID OF
THE RAIN VERY LATE ON
THURSDAY AFTERNOON WILL LIKELY
BE SOUTHSIDE LOCATION SO AGAIN
WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A BETTER
CHANCE FOR RAIN THURSDAY
AFTERNOON IN PLACES LIKE
LYNCHBURG AND SOUTHSIDE OF
COMPARISON.
THE HIGHLANDS AND YOU ARE A
VALLEY.
WE’RE
VALLEY. WE’RE GOING AGAIN HAVE THE
BIGGEST CONCERN LYING IN THE
THE FLOOD DEPARTMENT AS
WE HEAD INTO WEDNESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY NIGHT FOR AREAS
IN YELLOW.
THAT’S WHERE WE HAVE A MEDIUM
RISK
FOR FLOODING.
AREAS IN GREEN THAT’S WHERE WE
HAVE A LOW RISK FOR FLOODING,
SO
IF YOU’RE LOOKING AT THE ZONES
HERE LOOKS LIKE SOUTH SIDE MAY
HAVE THE LOWEST RISK FOR
FLOODING AS WE HEAD WEDNESDAY
INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
PERHAPS THOSE HIGHER CHANCES
LYING IN
THE MOUNTAINS.
TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW 73 IN
COVINGTON 79 LYNCHBURG DANVILLE
74 HILLSVILLE GAME LACKS 71
WITH PHIL YOU’RE AT 70.
BEFORE THE SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS GET THEIR ACT
TOGETHER TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
IT’S GOING TO BE REALLY HOT AND
HUMID AND THAT MEANS WE’RE
TALKING HEAT INDEX VALUES IN
LYNCHBURG
AND SOUTHSIDE ANYWHERE BETWEEN
MAYBE 96
ONE OH 2 IN THE MOUNTAINS IT
COULD FEEL ANYWHERE BETWEEN SAY
9096 BEFORE THOSE STORMS REALLY
START TO
BLOSSOM SO AGAIN WE’RE GOING TO
HAVE SOME SUN IN THE MORNING
TOMORROW, BUT AF HEAT WE’RE
GOING
HAVE HUMIDITY AND BEFORE THE
STORMS HIT IT IS GOING TO FEEL
OPPRESSIVE OUTSIDE.
IT’S GOING TO BE HUMID FOR US
WEDNESDAY.
BUT BY THURSDAY,
THE HUMIDITY’S GOING TO
INCREASE AS THE DAY
GOES ON.
I FRIDAY, THOSE HUMIDITY LEVELS
WILL BE QUITE LOW FRIDAY LOOKS
TO BE GORGEOUS OUTSIDE LOWER
HUMIDITY, COOLER TEMPERATURES
AND OUR FAIR SHARE
OF SUNSHINE.
FOR TONIGHT, WARM AND MUGGY BUT
MAINLY DRY SOME PATCHY FOG MAY
DEVELOP TO
OVERNIGHT LOWS BETWEEN
ABOUT 6673
3 BY SO FORECAST SHOWING THE
WARMEST DAY IN THE NRV LIKELY
BEING TOMORROW COOL STAY IN THE
HIGHLANDS WILL BE FRIDAY WITH
TEMPERATURES UPPER 70’S AND
LOWER 80’S FOR SOUTHSIDE YOU
GOING TO BE THE 90’S WEDNESDAY,
FALLING INTO THE MIDDLE 80’S
THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY.
>>FOR LYNCHBURG THE BEST CHANCE
FOR RAIN OVER THE NEXT 7 DAYS
WILL LIE
ON WEDNESDAY.
SOME LEFTOVER THUNDER SHOWERS
POSSIBLE THURSDAY DRY FRIDAY
SATURDAY BY NEXT WEEK
WE LAUGH, POP-UP THUNDER
SHOWERS AGAIN IN
THE FORECAST AND ACROSS THE
ROANOKE VALLEY WOULD GO FOR THE
LOWER 90’S WEDNESDAY INTO THE
