this is a picture of the rain pouring over the peninsula right now meteorologist geoff lawson tracking the very latest on that system and i don't know that one showed a call for lightning strikes you're out with this sl near franklin putting it all into motion here again just a couple strikes now being reported there. the leading edge of the system bringing a wind gust well up into the forties and as you can see it's starting to over spread northeast north carolina much of the southside now getting rain with the exception with light rain north of north carolina in shas be great in the north carolina border especially in the one to get out into virginia beach still south of about two sixty four no rain but that'll and very very shortly the heaviest rain is through most of the peninsula at this point are still some pockets of fairly heavy precipitation especially when it down into southern newport news down here near the monitor merrimack river toward the hr bt but overall that leading edge now through the peninsula temperatures have dropped compared what they were but we're still talkin

weather as it makes its way through hampton roads will have a live update from chief meteorologist geoff lawson in just a few minutes i right now we want to talk to virginia state police and michelle in iowa is joining us we know that a little while ago that state police confirmed three deaths in the town of waverly. michelle you there needs to get the in some places there the downed power lines buyers. yes there was a call of the skull of a structure fire came in at two forty three this afternoon of a structure fire. it was a tree that came on fire the house was on fire on the line there were some downed power lines and this had been taken care of i know are trying to clean up the roadway to get people to the houses where you know they claim that covers their house on sat we have an account for the body that's been about this that they are just on the path of destruction we're still trying to figure out that i get to hear that there's maybe a particular part of the town like i said it's nice having him that they believe it began on the three mile radius of the green thumb she began behind. wel

dropping temperatures for the weather could be a little nothing during the morning commute and geoff lawson is tracking this system and the tents for some winter weather yet it's interesting we talk about the falling temperatures it's not going to fall as much at the ground as it is a loft and that's really where we need to get colder if you want to see some snow and i still think there's a pretty significant chance of that happening right now as you can see we still a lot of this moisture streaming up all the way into central virginia still so in the morning question be how much cold air gets in here so far mom with an inch or more yesterday and a lot of locations just in the evening hours. now we're talking about another one tt i almost two inches in some spots since midnight and we're looking at another potential inch toward morning but this is what i find most interesting this is the future cast that i was not showing earlier because it did not have the snow over us. i chose one that did well now this one is joining the chorus is well and is now showing what we've been saying for severa

another round of severe weather is again on the way it's for that reason we want to get started with geoff lawson has been tracking the storms all day. yeah unfortunately the first line as we mentioned is gone and in its wake we saw a little bit of clearing right now law to low clouds but by now the damage is done in terms of setting the stage for the next event because we ll have the heat in that we can get a line to come through and really cool things off a lot of that chili or air from aloft to come down the ground then maybe we would have mitigated the entire region again under a tornado watch which means so you will get warnings issued well that watch was put out just after lunch when there wasn't anything at all in the area and it was with good reason. we had set for the past couple of days we'd likely see a watch is issued and so we have that tornado watch until nine pm this evening for the entire area now on the add on the warnings the warnings are way worse than a watch a warning means something has formed in the case of the red boxes it's a tornado warning which means either a confirmed

and then rain in hampton roads today will see rain tomorrow but it's going to feel a lot more geoff lawson is tracking the changes maybe even a thunderstorm tomorrow death than the morning there's a man probably thirty forty percent chance of us will see a thunderstorm hard to believe with conditions as chilly as they are out there right now in a lot of spots not everywhere. more on that in a second in fact up to richmond down i eighty five i ninety five corridor we had a little bit of mixed precipitation still around here we had a few showers at times this evening. again not a whole lot out there right now this is rather interesting though when i showed this visibility map earlier we had good visibility in north carolina across outside as the temperatures have come up this evening that has given us good visibility here now across the south side but you're still looking at some pretty dense fog in spots across parts of the pencil in newport news for example than half a mile but look at the temperature two hours ago norfolk was at forty one virginia beach was way up in the fifties i think f

mississippi dozens of damaged was also reported in alabama and those storms are headed our way geoff lawson is tracking the possibility of thunderstorms tomorrow but overnight will be dealing with rain and fog stuff yeah some light rain at times some drizzle definitely some fog and a building wind late tonight out of the south and that's what we're worried about for tomorrow it is indeed that exact line of storms that's headed for us tomorrow. the highest risk as you'll see just the second to point out will be for some strong winds potentially but i think the best chance is a little bit farther south the terms the highest odds but we're certainly in the zone as well. more on that a second look of his abilities some pretty low numbers there half a mile or less in a few locations and as a result we're going to continue to watch that overnight without a lot of actual rain accumulating we're not going to have a quarter of an inch or anything like that any soaking rain overnight. we will see temperatures holding steady and warm morning when the wind start to shift out rising temperatures the fal

and bends the light we had some reports people talking to me about that so many messages even geoff lawson sent me a text earlier today saying that he saw a couple of those arcs out there in a couple of sunday on the skies have since cleared since then and we're looking at mainly clear skies as we head to the overnight hours as we start things on your sunday morning we are looking at temperatures around fifty degrees. clouds will thicken up as we go through the day so look for partly mostly sunny skies in the morning increasing clouds through the afternoon. here's the next system approaching from the west notice by three o'clock. scattered showers already developing across southside backwards wakefield and korea though showers will roll through tomorrow evening and even into tomorrow night we'll look for some scattered showers and could be a leader a shower early monday morning a cold front will slide through that will drop temperatures as we go through the day monday the dissenters at seven am in the upper forties and will continue to fall as we go through the morning hours and will see t

starts now there's a chance for some rain overnight and with that comes a chance for a wintry mix geoff lawson is tracking this for us and what it could mean for your morning commute that mix tonight it would be similar to what we saw around superbowl time yesterday where a number of people are a number of areas really reported some sleet mixed in with some of the rain and that absolutely cause no problems on the road same thing over night. in fact some of these areas where we're seeing a little bit of the yellow that's most likely some sleep at least a thousand or so feet up and as it's coming down the ground likely that it's just rain but i would not doubt that we have a couple spots seeing a little bit of snow a little bit of sleet mixed in general as i said no worries whatsoever overnight if you're out on the roads or tomorrow morning for the rush hour. tempers as you can see way above freezing we talk about all the time but it doesn't have to be freezing for wintertime precipitation not the ground it just has to be freezing a little bit above us so that by the time it falls it doesn't hav

i alicia sees me keep on top of the storm throughout the afternoon geoff lawson in evanston where they're going to be in the weather lab also jenny craig and i each a tracking the storm of course faculty looking for damaged forests while and don't forget to download your weather caster asked us what it is free to the apple store and google play. it'll keep you up to date with ly radars wind advisories and a warning if a tornado just touched down into the american red cross blood products to hospitals for patients who need them volunteers must have a valid driver's license three years of driving experience. proof of a state driving record and insurance and they must also be able to lift boxes up to forty five pounds and volunteer for two to four shifts a month we are working to get this information up for you on a website thirteen years now. dot com. day nine of testimony continues in the sinking of the elf arrow the ship sank in the middle of her lucky last october and now the focus has shifted to the coast guard's response he told you earlier this week that the ship called norfolk after

got nice fleece inner lining is nice and fairly warm thank you guys for your server yeah go navy geoff lawson told me we average around fifty degrees for high temps february we been at about forty eight degrees for the average high temp he said but i had a lot of challenges cold or really fell while think you are joining us i'm joe flanagan left to right to that breaking news right now hampton man is fighting for

and atlantic right there beautiful picture the waves are crashing on however chief meteorologist geoff lawson has more on this evening's temperatures rather than to be chilly and we had won back to clouds move over with a couple of sprinkles that mainly didn't reach all the way down the ground evaporated first here then we should be a little bit of clearing our new batch moving in the distance you can see helped a little thicker looks like some of that rain is indeed reaching the ground and that's what we're looking at right here so again from hampton. we were looking west with some clearing farther west. that's the batch in which around here across sussex import areas of emporia that is now heavy enough that it's moisten up the atmosphere it looks like it is indeed reach all the way down to the earth's surface that's here near eighty five i ninety five corridor but moving in a north easterly direction so around stony creek back toward little mill just very light precipitation temperatures out there right now a little bit milder than yesterday. the family motto for watching from northeast nor

look from the beach quarters resort skyview in the south end of this trip and we are all just geoff lawson has more on a cool down tonight and it looks like that everywhere hears from downtown norfolk same thing lots and lots of blue sky clear conditions that'll be the case to the evening a little bit later tonight there's a weak disturbance to the north couple of the models are showing a sprinkle trying to while that's possible i don't think it's unlikely for most of us the big news the temperatures again and it's not going to be abnormally cold but it will be colder than we've seen the last twenty four thirty six hours dropping back down here into the thirties and these are sort of metro or downtown temperatures urban areas it will an inlet right near the beaches inland areas will certainly be colder and colder in any really somewhat rural location and then tomorrow definitely temperatures below normal and talk about a roller coaster we go from yesterday up in the sixties way up here down forties forties back to the forties back to the sixties down to fifty so as you expect it's springti

geoff lawson has more yeah the big news tonight is cold and then the fact that the cold around tomorrow's the moisture moves and that becomes the big deal in these temperatures dropping from the thirties this evening quickly into the twenties and then dropping through the twenties in fact inland areas will make it in the upper teens by morning so that's the first thing the bottom line snow tomorrow hour issues during the evening commute. remember we did not have a lot of snow i know five six weeks ago whatever we had a horrible evening rush hour conditions could be a similar type situation doesn't take much to create some ice when it's this cold then speak in a cold actual air temperatures through sunday will be even colder but warmer by tuesday and then another winter storm is likely early next week that'll eventually transition over to rain i showed you one of the computer models said that i thought to have the overall sort of general forecast right. same thing with this one very similar across hampton roads might be a tad under don might be a tad under done down here across north carol
