All joking aside, I'm doing some weekend outlooks for The Bass Cast and will post them here as well. Knowing the weather for upcoming weekends is pretty useful in the summer time. As events get closer, I like to fine tune and we are working on improving the system here for that...
For those who don't know Claytor Lake is just SW of Blacksburg, we all should know where SML is and Lake Anna is just east of Charlottesville.
For the LU graduation, the BEST hope is the showers and Thunderstorm hold off till afternoon. As of now, I'd plan on bringing an umbrella and poncho and hope for the best. Timing is tenuous at best currently.
Weekend Weather Outlook for May 9-11 for Claytor Lake, Smith
Mountain Lake and Lake Anna
The weekend is starting 2 days too late, with high temps
above 90 POSSIBLE Thursday!
Friday- Skies should be
mostly sunny with a slight chance of showers late, mainly over and near Clatory
Lake. Highs should be 80-85 with winds under 10MPH, unless there is a
Thunderstorm.
Friday Night- Chance of
Showers SW areas near Claytor Lake, slight Chance near SML while Lak Anna
should be dry. Temps will bottom out near 60 degrees all locations
Saturday- Partly to Mostly Cloudy with increasing
chances of Showers and Thunderstorms. Showers will first pop up near Claytor
Lake and will spread North and east from there. A steady period of shows and
storms is a 50/50 call for all locations, with some places getting over a half
inch rain during the showers and storms. High Temps will be 70-75.
Saturday Evening- Showers
and Storms taper off by late evening. Low temps 60-65
Sunday- Party Cloudy,
chance of showers and Thunderstorms. Would gamble that it’s a bit drier than
Saturday.
As of now, Saturday looks like the day
more likely to have rain issues on any of the local lakes. Sunday’s rain and
showers looks much more scatters. With a
little luck those storms stay west most of the day, with some misfortune rain
could come in early and be an issue off an on all day.
