RICHMOND, Va. -- A line of showers and storms will track from central Virginia into eastern Virginia. We are watching additional storms moving up from North Carolina, and another line of storms west of the mountains.
There is a slight risk (level 2 out of 5) for severe storms for the entire CBS 6 viewing area.
- Storms will produce heavy rainfall, with over an inch of rain possible.
- Some storms will have strong gusts, possibly exceeding 60 mph.
- Large hail is possible in a few storms.
- Due to a lot of wind shear above the surface, isolated tornadoes are possible.

A tornado watch has been issued for northwestern Virginia until 7 p.m.
One limiting factor for severe weather will be the amount of rain and storms from this first line. This may be enough to squelch the severe threat for later in the afternoon.
Storms will continue through this evening, with activity decreasing after midnight.
