RICHMOND, Va. — A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for most of the CBS 6 viewing area until 12 a.m. The warm front brought heat and humidity back into the region and is responsible for a lot of these storms.

SPC DAY 1

The main threat from the developing storms will be damaging wind gusts along with some large hail, and isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out.  The tornado risk for the Richmond-metro is moderate, which doesn’t happen often.

Everything is expected to be cleared out by the morning, but will crank back up Friday night and Saturday.
