Discussion
A weak frontal system has stalled out across Virginia and it could become the focus area for afternoon and evening shower and thunderstorm activity and again on Wednesday. A stronger front will approach the area on Thursday and this will also result in the chance for showers and thunderstorms. Any storm that forms over the next few days can be on the strong-to-severe side given all the available moisture in the atmosphere and the high levels of potential energy. Following the passage of the late week frontal system, we'll experience a bit of relief on Friday and Saturday, but it is likely to get hot again by the early part of next week.
