Richmond, VA – Virginia residents should prepare for stormy weather and potential river flooding as rainfall continues into the week. Forecasters predict between 0.25 to 1 inch of rain today, with locally heavier amounts possible in areas affected by thunderstorms.
According to the National Weather Service, river levels may rise through Tuesday, with isolated areas potentially reaching action stage. Regions along the James and Susquehanna River basins are at particular risk. Temperatures will climb into the 50s, rapidly melting remaining snow and increasing runoff into waterways.
Travelers should remain cautious, especially on low-lying roads prone to flooding. Drivers are encouraged to monitor conditions closely and avoid areas marked with flood warnings. Updates on road closures and safety advisories are expected as conditions evolve.
Looking ahead, cooler weather will return by New Year’s Day, with temperatures dropping into the 40s across much of Virginia. A chance of light snow may develop midweek, but impacts remain uncertain. The extended forecast includes dry and sunny weather toward the weekend, giving residents a reprieve from the rain.
Stay informed by checking local weather updates regularly. Emergency services advise keeping an eye on flood-prone areas and securing outdoor items ahead of storms.
