Severe storms possible WEDNESDAY


Yet another round of headline-making stormy weather is forecast around us Wednesday.  We're borderline from being in a "moderate" risk for severe storms, which is not a good thing,  Winds, however, will be south-southwest, and I'm assuming storms will travel in like manner.  That makes us in ACA a little more protected, with much heavier rainfall expected south/southeast of the Blue Ridge Parkway where the uplifting air will wring itself out on the southern Blue Ridge. 

For severe cells to affect us, the storms will have to traverse a lot of mountainous terrain to the SW, which again works in our favor to keep severe potential limited for us in ACA.  Be that as it may, I expect us to come under a Watch box sometime Wednesday.  Rotating cells are possible if not likely, as well, and damaging winds/tornadoes are the feared component.  Likely timeframe for the worst of the worst is Wednesday night, though storms possible anytime during the day.

Just a good ol' heads up.  Anticipated road work in ACA may well be hampered by the weather, as it has been already.
