“It looks like it’s going to go out of a water again, regain some strength and they make a second landfall Thursday afternoon and then head north,” Chief Meteorologist Zach Daniel said in his Monday afternoon forecast. “It should be a depression as it moves into Virginia. It could be a low in tropical storm and that would occur Friday night into Saturday morning. On that track, it is going to bring a tremendous amount of rain northward. There will be some areas here in central and eastern Virginia that gets between six and 10 inches of rain.”
