Red Flag Warning Today
Strong winds and very dry conditions equate to a high fire danger across the area today - a Red Flag Warning is in effect until 9 PM this evening. If a brush fire develops, it could quickly spread and become very dangerous. It's a situation we will be watching very closely through the day and will have updates later.

Severe Weather Threat has Ended in Central Virginia
The line of strong to severe thunderstorms weakened very rapidly just after 10 PM tonight, and redevelopment of storms is unlikely. Breezy and relatively mild conditions will continue for the remainder of the night. Strong winds are still expected area wide on Thursday.
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Extended into Central VA
A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 1 AM for parts of central and northern Virginia. The watch area is roughly along and north of a line from Buckingham, to Powhatan, to Richmond, to West Point. Wind gusts in excess of 60 mph will be possible as a broken line of strong to severe thunderstorms continues to move rapidly eastward.
