Scattered Showers & Storms

Scattered showers and thunderstorms continue to move northward through Central Virginia Monday. The strongest storms have frequent lightning, small hail, gusty winds to 30-40mph, and very heavy rainfall that can lead to flooding of poorly drained locations. Most of these storms should remain below severe limits, but these thunderstorms are still dangerous because of the lightning and downpours. Remember, if you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck, so remain inside!

Storm chances will linger through this afternoon, and return again Tuesday from mid-day through the evening.
