A few rounds of strong to severe storms are possible Tuesday afternoon and again on Tuesday night. The first round of storms, if they occur, would impact primarily southwest VA and northeast TN during the mid afternoon hours. The second round, if they occur, would likely impact much of the area on Tuesday night. Damaging straight line winds and isolated flash flooding are the main impacts, though an isolated tornado can't be ruled out.
An unsettled pattern will remain in place this week. There will multiple chances for scattered showers and storms over the next several days, especially during the afternoon hours. Temperatures will be right around normal for this time of year, warming into the weekend.
