    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.
