Next Weekend; River Update
This will be just a quick blog. The models have come in a little weaker with the next system on Sunday. Saturday looks fine with partly cloudy skies and highs near 60. It will still be breezy on Sunday though with scattered showers and highs in the upper 50s. We still could see some minor tidal flooding, but it shouldn’t be bad.
The Blackwater River near Franklin is going down. It is at 11.32ft. Flood stage is 12ft. The Nottoway is still pretty bad according to the numbers. It was at about 18ft today. That is the threshold between minor and moderate flooding. It is going down and should be below flood stage by about Friday afternoon. If it is still bad out there, then please leave a comment. Or you can email us at weather@wavy.com.
The forecast for the next 24 hours is quiet. Clearing skies tomorrow with highs in the low/mid 60s.
