RICHMOND, Va. -- A strong cold front will move in from the west and trigger thunderstorms Sunday afternoon and evening.
These storms have a good chance of producing severe weather, mainly in the form of damaging wind gusts in excess of 60 mph. Isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out, but the tornado threat is not very high. Some of the storms will contain large hail.
The best window for storms in the metro will be mid-afternoon through early evening.
