We will see a quick chance for some strong storms tomorrow. Spotty showers will be possible early tomorrow morning. Then between 10 AM and 2 PM, thunderstorms will develop throughout central Virginia. These storms will race off to the east so most areas will be dry by 5 PM.
Any storms that develop will be moving FAST, so damaging winds will be the main threat tomorrow. Carrie will be monitoring the situation in the morning and will have updates as conditions warrant. Stay with CBS 6, we'll keep you ahead of the storm!

Brush Fires
The newsroom has been busy today with numerous reports of brush fires across the region. Although winds have been generally 5 to 15 mph, there was a 21 mph gust last hour. Combine this with super dry air (23% relative humidity) and there is a moderate fire danger this evening.
Winds will strengthen tonight, but at the same time, humidity levels will rise. Overall, this will decrease the fire danger as the night progresses.
Be sure to tune in tonight at 6:30 and 11 PM, we will have updates on the brush fires!
