What's with the question marks?????

I've noticed that all my July posts have been punctuated with question marks, and maybe that reflects this unusual summer weather the Mid-Atlantic is experiencing. I will try to be more creative and not continue along that rut....
The short-range models today still indicate the approach of the cold front near dark in the Winchester area, but they are also showing development of a pre-frontal trough east of the Blue Ridge later this afternoon with convection breaking out sometime around 5:00 pm. As such I am now planning to be in Culpeper before that time unless radar indicates something else. Why Culpeper? (Again with the question marks!!) Short answer is the road system there. I can go just about in any compass direction on a major highway to reach a burgeoning updraft. So stay tuned!!
