It's that time of the week. Time for the NOAA Weather Radio test.

May be a good night to raise the windows with lows in the 50s for most but some 40s in the higher ridges.

Today we say goodbye to the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS). The National Water Prediction Service (NWPS), water.noaa.gov, is the new way we will be providing this information. For a comparison between AHPS and NWPS please visit storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/5b0c7d….

The severe weather is gone, but an upper low sagging southward from the Great Lakes will bring unseasonably cool, variably cloudy conditions to the area for the rest of the week. Scattered rain showers will be possible mainly in the mountains.

Memorial Day afternoon was quieter than Sunday. Can't rule out a few showers this evening but most will be dry with clearing skies. Lows will range from the 50s in the mountains with lower 60s in the Piedmont. The rest of the week is looking mainly dry with lower humidity.

A tornado was confirmed yesterday in Salem, VA. The preliminary investigation indicates a strength of EF-1 with wind maximum wind speeds of 100-105 MPH. The storm survey is ongoing; a final assessment with full details will be issue via a Public Information Statement later today.

Once this morning's showers exit, we will have another shot at severe weather across the Piedmont this afternoon. Mainly concerned with damaging winds and large hail, although an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.
