Pinchbeck Visit

Here is a photo from a school visit I did this week at Raymond Pinchbeck Elementary School. This is Ms. Sherrill Kauffmann's fourth grade class.They had some really great weather questions. I had a blast! Plus they gave me a really pretty flower basket.

Another Tornado Confirmed from Friday's Storms

The National Weather Service conducted a survey of damage resulting from the severe thunderstorms last Friday, and determined that another EF-0 tornado moved through southeast Virginia. This was actually the first tornado of the day, occurring in an open field in Franklin, Virginia. The tornado was spawned by the same storm that later produced a tornado between Wakefield and Waverly.

New Addition To Our Website

Now that autumn is in full swing, we will be tracking the foliage across the area. Here is a map of current conditions - there already have been reports of some color up in parts of the Blue Ridge!



I have also included a map of the average peak colors for Virginia. Hopefully this will help you plan some excursions out into the mountains or countryside and enjoy the fall colors.



You can find both maps on our website by clicking on this link.

Tranquil Weather Expected for Several Days

The cold front has moved through central Virginia, and I expect clearing skies for the remainder of the night. Cool nights and mild afternoons will be the rule through the upcoming weekend. Check back tomorrow for details on a spectacular sight in the night sky.
