Pleasant midweek weather to give way to end-of-week rain

This Wednesday morning began with glorious weather across Mecklenburg County. Among local thermometers the sensor at the Chase City airport "won" the prize for low temperature, with a reading of 49º. This afternoon's highs will climb into the upper 70s, with a couple of spots likely to touch the 80 degree mark. Light breezes will be out of the west today.

A few clouds will slowly spread across the area this afternoon, with tonight becoming mostly cloudy. Thursday will begin with temperatures in the mid-50s, with afternoon highs likely reaching the low 80s under mostly sunny skies. There is a small chance of showers or storms tomorrow afternoon, but a higher likelihood of rain will arrive during the evening hours. 

Friday then looks to have shower or storm chances most of the day, with the sun peeking through the clouds at times. Total rain amounts from this next weather system will be less than a quarter-inch at most locales.

This is also Hurricane Preparedness Week in Virginia, with the official beginning to the Atlantic tropical season arriving June 1st. Although Mecklenburg County doesn't have to be concerned with things like storm surge, recent tropical systems brought flooding rains, high winds, and even tornado warnings to the area.
