Our main concern with any storm that do develops are strong gusty winds. However, we can’t rule out a brief tornado.

Scattered showers and an isolated strong storm will be possible ahead of the cold front moving through during the evening. Peak storm time in RVA 7-10 p.m. Showers taper with clearing skies overnight. Rain totals 1/4″expected.

Most of our NBC12 viewers will get non-severe storms, but we are calling it a First Alert Weather Day because isolated severe storms are possible. Be sure to check with Megan and Rachel for the latest on TV during this evening.
