Thunderstorms Linger

Two thunderstorms continue to hang around the area this evening. One it just south of Midlothian and the other is just east of Mechanicsville. These storms are moving very slowly to the east and are dumping a lot of rain. Some minor flooding will be possible with these storms, in fact, Doppler rainfall estimates are already over 2" in southern Hanover and northern New Kent counties!

Isolated Showers This Evening

A couple showers have popped up in the area this evening. These are drifting to the east at about 5 to 10 mph. A stray shower will be possible for the entire area for the rest of this evening.

Severe Weather Sweeps Country

A storm system moving through the U.S. since this weekend continues to produce severe weather Monday, and may lead to severe storms in the Commonwealth Tuesday afternoon and evening. But this weekend, this upper storm kicked off strong to severe thunderstorms from Colorado to the Midwest. For a full list of the severe weather reported Sunday, click here.

You'll notice all the red dots indicating tornado reports near Denver, CO. Check out the tornado video damage at our CBS affiliate KCNC here. Here is another video from Colorado on Sunday:



And this is great amateur video of the Aurora, CO funnel forming:


This funnel did touch down and caused damage at Southlands Mall in Aurora, CO, a suburb of Denver.

Large hail also fell in Missouri, damaging vehicles and roofs. Grapefruit-sized hail caused damage in the Lake Viking area west of Gallatin, MO. For details and video from CBS affiliate KCTV of that hail Sunday night, click here .

Today, that same upper system continues to move through the midsection of the country, and will likely produce more severe weather.

This system will reach the Commonwealth with its surface weak cold front Tuesday, and may produce some strong to severe thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon and evening. The slight risk area is outlined below. The main threats will include damaging winds and large hail.
