    RICHMOND, Va. -- A cold front will approach from the west Monday afternoon. Widely scattered storms will develop by late afternoon in western Virginia. These storms will turn a little more numerous heading into the evening. The storms that do develop may be severe. The primary threats will be strong wind gusts and large hail. However, due to a decent amount of wind shear around, storms could rotate and produce tornadoes.

    RICHMOND, Va. -- A storm will develop and track into our area on Tuesday. Snow will spread across the region Tuesday morning. There will be periods of snow into the afternoon, especially north of I-64. Warmer air will try to spread north, and this will change the snow to a wintry mix. This mix may get into the metro by late afternoon. The mix transition line will track north of I-64 Tuesday evening into Tuesday night. The metro should switch over to rain.

Any tornado threat for Central Virginia will come from this northward moving line of storms extending from Greensboro to Myrtle Beach. Once this line passes, the tornado threat will end. It’s moving around 45-55mph. https://t.co/96iz3IY3fv
