At 658 PM EDT, Doppler radar was tracking a cluster of strong thunderstorms near Elmo, or 8 miles south of Ingram, moving east at 20 mph. HAZARD...Wind gusts up to 40 mph. SOURCE...Radar indicated.

Prospect Hill... and Turbeville. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... If outdoors, consider seeking shelter inside a building. Locally heavy rain will quickly reduce visibility and result in ponding of water on roadways, standing water in low lying areas, and minor flooding of creeks, streams, and areas of poor drainage. Drivers are urged to slow down and use extra caution to avoid hydroplaning. If on or near John H Kerr Reservoir, get out of the water and move indoors or inside a vehicle. Remember, lightning can strike out to 10 miles from the parent thunderstorm. If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck by lightning. Move to safe shelter now! Do not be caught on the water in a thunderstorm. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect until 1000 PM EDT for central and south central Virginia. && LAT...LON 3669 7865 3668 7870 3667 7870 3654 7873 3654 7914 3624 7916 3625 7953 3654 7951 3678 7919 3671 7866 3663 7855 TIME...MOT...LOC 2258Z 269DEG 19KT 3663 7919 MAX HAIL SIZE...0.00 IN MAX WIND GUST...40 MPH $$ AMS
