Severe Thunderstorm Watch Until 9 PM

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for most of central and eastern Virginia and is in effect until 9 PM. The strongest storms will be capable of damaging winds and very large hail. Although the threat is low, a brief weak tornado could also form.

Sunday's Severe Potential

A cool front will move into the area early this afternoon and ignite a few thunderstorms between 1 to 3 PM.


(Surface dew points and winds)

There is plenty of energy in the atmosphere to fuel these storms, so they could rapidly become severe.


(Surface-based CAPE)

The strongest storms will be capable of damaging winds and hail as large as quarters. More than likely these storms will gel into a squall line and race into the Atlantic later tonight. We will be tracking this through the day and will have more updates in the afternoon.
