Newport News, Virginia
Off to the Hampton Roads area of southeastern Virginia. It lies just north of Norfolk, if you are still trying to figure it out on your mental atlas.
At 354PM, ET, Newport news was reporting a temperature of 60 degrees with clear skies. A ridge of high pressure over the Great Lakes and eastern United States was keeping pleasant weather in command for the coast. A broad, laminar ridge was seen aloft, with a trough over the Rockies that was aiding in the surface development of some thunderstorm activity.
Any energy within the western trough will not be enough to overcome the aforementioned ridge over the eastern third of the US, and will instead ride that ridge north into the Great Lakes and Canada. If anything, over the next couple of days the temperature in Newport News will increase with southerly flow drawn into the system to their north, but the region will remain dry.

I am inclined to go warmer today in southeastern Virginia, given the warm air already in place, and I don't know why The Weather Channel is going rain... doesn't look very wet. This satellite is shown because of the activity over the plains. Not much to talk about in Virginia.
