Thunderstorms Today

An upper-level storm is currently spinning over Virginia. This storm has provided some cooler air in the upper atmosphere which has destabilized our atmosphere. In other words, thunderstorms have developed across the area. These storms are fueled by sunshine, so I'm expecting these to weaken a couple hours after sunset. The strongest storms will be capable of very heavy rain, strong wind gusts, and possibly some small hail.
