Wednesday morning update
An early morning round of rain has left the 10 News viewing area, but not without causing damage to one house in Pittsylvania County.

This same round of rain will take some of the energy out of the atmosphere, leaving us with only isolated thunderstorm activity during the afternoon and evening Wednesday.
We expect more afternoon and evening storms Thursday. These will move from southwest to northeast between roughly 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.
The main threat we’ll watch out for is localized flooding, given how wet the ground has become recently. A few storms will have the potential to produce localized wind damage or hail Thursday afternoon.
After Thursday, our Weather Authority Alert Day will expire. Humidity levels and storm chances decrease for the upcoming weekend.
