Severe Weather Alert: High Winds and Storm Risks Today

A severe storm threat looms today with strong winds and a risk of isolated tornadoes. Rain chances increase by midday, with temperatures in the 60s and 70s. Severe storm risks are severe, including heavy rainfall, high winds, and hail. The weather will change significantly later in the week.

A severe storm threat is present today as strong winds of over 30 mph are expected with an approaching storm system. Rain probabilities are set to rise, particularly west of I-95, from late morning into midday. Thunderstorms will become more prevalent this afternoon and evening, with highs ranging from the upper 60s in the northwest to mid-70s in the southeast.

The National Weather Service has issued a slight risk (level 2 out of 5) for severe storms across most of the CBS 6 viewing area and a marginal risk (level 1 out of 5) near the coast. Predicted storm activity may lead to heavy rainfall, possibly exceeding an inch. Gusty winds may exceed 60 mph, large hail is a potential hazard, and due to significant wind shear at higher altitudes, isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out.

Residents are urged to remain vigilant and weather-aware. The CBS 6 Weather App for iPhone and Android provides crucial updates on watches, warnings, and interactive radar. The extent of severe weather could be influenced by the initial development of rain, which could dampen severe storm likelihood later in the afternoon.

Storms are expected to persist into this evening but will begin to diminish after midnight. Overnight lows will range from the upper 40s to lower 50s. A few showers may linger early Monday, especially in southeastern Virginia, with daytime highs only reaching the upper 50s to lower 60s.

Monday night will see colder temperatures, dipping into the low to mid-30s. Tuesday will set high temperatures between 65-70 degrees, while Wednesday could reach the low to mid-70s. A cold front is anticipated to bring additional showers on Thursday. Highs will cool to the 50s on Friday, 60s on Saturday, and return to 65-70 by next Sunday. Stay updated with CBS 6 for the latest weather information.
