A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect until 9 PM for the northern third of VA. Damaging wind gusts and large hail will the primary threats with the biggest storms. The air is very unstable across most of central and southern Virginia, so thunderstorms will also be possible for the entire state through this evening and early tonight. If you plan to be outside later today, be aware that the weather could quickly change for the worse.
