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.
