ROANOKE, Va. – The rain moves in as early as Monday afternoon for our southern counties. Some heavy pockets will trek across Southwest and Central Virginia later Monday night.
Potential Tropical Cyclone 8 will bring tropical rain to the mid-Atlantic over the course of the next several days.
Here is a look at futurecast for Monday afternoon. Cloudy skies will be overhead for most, with isolated rain moving in from time to time for our more southern counties/zones.
The flash flood risk for the day is right along the coast of the Carolinas. Most of us are under a Level 1 marginal risk, but counties bordering North Carolina are under a Level 2 slight risk.
By Tuesday morning, we will likely see scattered showers. This is when heavy pockets of rain will be moving through.
A Level 1 marginal risk is in effect for all of the 10 News viewing area on Tuesday.
Future rainfall is heaviest across the Carolinas over the next 3-5 days. We will see our rainfall amounts add up through the middle of the week as tropical rain remains in the region for several days.
The bulk of our rainfall comes between Monday night and Wednesday morning. Below is a look at how much rain we could see with a few isolated spots seeing more than the projected forecast.
