Line of Strong Storms Developing

A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 9 PM for east-central, south-central, and southeast Virginia, including the Richmond Metro Area. Wind gusts to 70 mph and hail to the size of quarters will be possible with the strongest storms. We are covering the storms live in our CBS 6 Interactive Storm Room.

Storms Starting To Pop

A line of storms is forming from the Northern Neck through Richmond and down along I-85 to the stateline. The southeastern third of Virginia has seen some sunshine today, so the best chances for severe storms will be in this area. I wouldn't be surprised if a Severe Thunderstorm Watch is issued soon for those areas - which includes the Richmond metro and Petersburg.

Thunderstorm Watch Far North

The National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for King George, Spotsylvania and Stafford counties until 4:00 PM today. We will keep you up to date if the weather situation changes.
