Low pressure developing over the Gulf states will track northeast along a cold front sliding through the Mid-Atlantic. That will bring periods of heavy rain to central and eastern Virginia through Thursday night. As colder air inches in from the Ohio Valley, freezing rain may become a concern over the higher elevations well north and west (counties along the Blue Ridge).
The map above shows the National Meteorological Center forecast for rainfall through Thursday night. In the metro Richmond area, the two main computer models are forecasting copious amounts of rain. The NAM forecasts a total of 3 1/2 inches by Friday morning, and the GFS comes in just over 4 inches! So be prepared for a real soaker during the next 36-48 hours.
We'll clear out Friday afternoon and enjoy a nice weekend, with lots of sunshine. Temperatures will only be in the mid 40s Saturday afternoon, but should rise into the mid 50s on Sunday.
