There is a risk for severe thunderstorms across the Commonwealth Thursday & Friday. There is a strong cap in place and we tend to think that will hold off a lot of the activity, but we will need to continue to watch closely as any storms that do get going will have a very favorable environment for large hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes.

Thursday the risk will likely be more late-afternoon and evening if it develops. The risk is generally higher on Friday afternoon and especially in the evening.

Currently, a line of strong to severe storms is moving across the Commonwealth towards our area. The main severe threat is expected to be damaging straight-line winds, and near severe-level hail is also possible. The severe threat should diminish behind the main line of storms this evening, though scattered rain showers will continue into Saturday morning. Please be weather aware this afternoon and evening. Make sure you have multiple ways to receive storm alerts.
