RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - Tropical Storm Arthur is moving away from the coast of the U.S. after being primarily a rain-maker in southeast Virginia.

A separate (non-tropical) area of low pressure will bring periodic heavy rain to Virginia for much of next week. We have posted a separate blog on the rain chances for next week from a large upper-low.

We will keep you posted with the lasted from NHC on NBC12 online, on TV and on the NBC12 Weather App
