Line Of Thunderstorms About To Affect Richmond

A squall line is just about to enter the metro Richmond area. This line of storms has a history of knocking down some trees with strong wind gusts. There have also been reports of dime to nickel-sized hail. As always with a thunderstorm, you can also expect frequent lightning and torrential rainfall.

Slight Risk Severe Storms This Afternoon

As an upper level disturbance swings through the Mid-Atlantic Tuesday afternoon, scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop. Some of these storms may become severe with damaging winds and large hail. Any of the storms that do form, though, will produce frequent lightning strikes and heavy rain. Activity is expected to develop around 2 p.m. and continue through sunset, which is at 8:30 p.m. tonight. With the loss of daytime heating, storms are expected to rapidly weaken.

Scattered Storms Tuesday AM

Scattered thunderstorms continue Tuesday morning in North-Central parts of the state, from around Partlow to south of Fredericksburg to Dahlgren. These storms are producing frequent lightning strikes, heavy rain, and gusty winds at times. Movement is to the east at 15 mph.

Strong to Severe Storms Tues AM

Strong to severe thunderstorms are moving through North-Central and West-Central Virginia early Tuesday morning, producing nearly constant lightning, heavy rain, penny-size hail, and wind gusts up to 60 mph. These storms will continue to move to the East and Northeast at about 20 mph.

These storms are firing in response to a leading shortwave ahead of the main cold front, which will move into the region today. I'll be covering these storms on CBS 6 This Morning, so tune in for all the details!
