Cold Front Moving In, Chance Storms Monday

A cold front is moving into Western Virginia early Monday morning, with some showers along it. But ahead of the front through this morning and into early afternoon, Central Virginia has an opportunity for thunderstorms, some of which could be severe with damaging winds, frequent lightning, and heavy downpours. The eastern quarter of the Commonwealth has the best opportunity for severe thunderstorms, as the cold front will not move through that region until mid and late afternoon. Westerly winds gusting up to 30 mph or more will sweep through Central Virginia behind the cold front. Cooler temperatures will move into the region after this front, keeping highs in the 50's both Tuesday and Wednesday.
