Time to find those sunglasses again! Fantastic weather as we start your weekend!

[Thomas Battle @thomasweather]

I know it's gross and humid out there, but it will get better over the next few days!

[Thomas Battle @thomasweather]

This early batch of showers will push through most of our rain for the day, with more storms possible this afternoon.

[Thomas Battle @thomasweather]

Pretty sunrise this morning as we get ready for one more day of near record heat this week!

[Thomas Battle @thomasweather]

Huge temperature swings this weekend! Starting off cold this morning! See you on GMV!

[Thomas Battle @thomasweather]

Rain is rolling in this morning, with most of the rain arriving mid morning. It's not going to warm up beyond our early morning temperatures, with most of our day spent in the 50s. See you on GMV!

[Thomas Battle @thomasweather]

The latest drought map is out and it does not look good. Lynchburg and all of Campbell county are now included in the extreme drought. Today will slow the spread, but we need inches of rain to dig us out of the drought.

[Thomas Battle @thomasweather]

The first round of rain is slowing down over the next few hours, with a recharge period on the way this afternoon. We may see a few storms heading into tonight, but mostly over the southside.

[Thomas Battle @thomasweather]

May the fourth be with you. Always.

[Thomas Battle @thomasweather]

Will went on a little bike excursion this weekend, so you have me for tonight! See you at 6 & 11!

[Thomas Battle @thomasweather]

The rain is out but the clouds won't be leaving quickly. More rain in the morning!

[Thomas Battle @thomasweather]

Showers start your day, but they should be gone by noon. More rain on Wednesday too, and I'll have the details on GMV!

Orion’s crew and service module have separated. The crew module continues on its path towards Earth while the service module will harmlessly burn up in Earth’s atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean. The Artemis II return trajectory is designed to ensure any remaining debris does not pose a hazard to land, people, or shipping lanes.

Hi! I’m Rise!

About a week ago, I launched aboard the Artemis II mission with four of my besties. Since then, I have been serving a very important purpose aboard the Orion spacecraft… I float. (And I look cute.)

Today, I am taking over the Artemis social media accounts! -Rise

We're going farther than ever before 🚀

Today, the Artemis II crew will break the record for how far humans have traveled from Earth as they fly around the far side of the Moon.

Coverage begins at 1 p.m. EDT (1700 UTC). Watch Artemis II make history: https://t.co/G7LpghURjg

We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). https://t.co/X27QJejNDt

Happy Opening Day! ⚾️
