It’s Official!
Today Was The Nicest
July 1st On Record!

Beryl still has some intensifying to do ahead of gradually weakening a bit as it tracks into the western Caribbean where wind shear is forecast to increase. Land interaction with the Yucatan later this week should also disrupt it.

Uncertainty grows late next week as some models signal for a pull north possibly threatening the Gulf Coast. Stay tuned!

Nearly all of Hampton Roads now under a Severe T'Storm Watch until 11pm. Meteorologist Hunter Forst & I will be shooting out updates all afternoon/evening online and on-air. 13News Now - WVEC

Beryl
Tropical Storm
To
Major Hurricane
In Less Than 36 Hours

Beryl is now a hurricane, the storm is rapidly intensifying, something unheard of for this time of the year.

I can see this storm over-performing and being more intense as it reaches the Windward Islands. Right now, I do NOT see this as a threat to the East Coast. However, it may be something to watch very closely for the Gulf Coast. In my opinion, this is a sign of things to come this hurricane season, more strong storms taking advantage of a very conducive environment. Stay tuned!

Beryl forms and will likely be the season’s first hurricane in the days to come.

Tropical Depression #2 strengthens into Tropical Storm Beryl; expected to be a hurricane as it approaches the Windward Islands.

We’ll likely have the 1st hurricane of the season later this weekend
As of now, this is no threat to Hampton Roads.

Cold front pushing through early Thursday morning will likely produce scattered storms & downpours for parts of the area during the AM commute.

Record-challenging heat returns to Hampton Roads on Wednesday. 'Feels Like' temperatures should climb into the 100°-104° range before some drier air mixes down in the afternoon.

Drought conditions are rapidly developing across Virginia and North Carolina. We talked on TV how when the drought report was released this week it would look very different from last, check it out.
No widespread soaking rains in the forecast anytime soon.

Your annual reminder that when temperatures climb into the 90s for days in a row like they're forecast to do refrain from walking your dog during the middle of the day.

Pavement/asphalt temperatures can lead to serious paw pad injuries!

Sunday looks to be the hottest day so far, highs in the mid-upper 90s, 'feels like' temps over 100°. Heat advisories are issued when those 'feels like' numbers get to 105°, it may be close, especially for interior locations farther west.
The record for Sunday is 99°, that may be a close call as well.

We've got a developing situation for Hampton Roads if our weather continues to trend hot & dry. A 'flash drought' is a possibility in the coming weeks. Not good news for our crunchy lawns and thirsty gardens.
Stay tuned!

We're in for a toaster of a weekend - highs climbing into the mid-upper 90s with heat indices likely well over 100°.
