Severe Thunderstorm Watch Until 8 p.m.

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for approximately the Northern two-thirds of Virginia, as seen here:


Strong to severe thunderstorms capable of producing damaging wind gusts to 70 mph, hail larger than nickels, and torrential rainfall will develop and move through the state this afternoon and tonight as a cold front progresses. Any of these storms will also be capable of frequent lightning and flooding rains.
