Here is an update on the risk area for severe storms this afternoon and evening. As you can see, the entire Commonwealth is included in the risk. A deepening trough will swing into the Eastern U.S. today, with an associated surface front that will sweep through the state tonight. Ahead of that system, strong to severe storms are likely to develop by early afternoon in Central Virginia, and continue through the evening. As ample lift and moisture will be in place, severe storms are likely, capable of damaging winds, torrential rain, and even an isolated tornado or two. In response to the approaching upper-level storm, a surface low will form in south-central Virginia this afternoon, and track east this evening. It is near this low pressure center where brief, isolated tornadoes will be possible.
Stay with CBS 6, we'll keep you ahead of the storm.
