There is a 60 percent chance of storms developing. If they do develop in your area, they could be severe with the highest threat being damaging wind. There’s a lower risk the storms could spawn an isolated tornado or hail.

“The bulk of the storms will pass through Virginia, but as it draws up this moisture into us, that’s were it could bring us that chance of thunderstorms,” ABC11 Meteorologist Don “Big Weather” Schwenneker said.

The best chance for storms is between 2 and 5 p.m.
