Sunday, August 18, 2024, has been designated a Weather Alert Day by 13News Now's meteorologist until 10 p.m. for a threat of strong to severe thunderstorms.
A cold front will slowly drop in from the northwest this afternoon and evening. Its interaction with an increasingly unstable air mass will trigger isolated to potentially widespread strong to severe thunderstorms, especially in areas west and northwest.
The National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm WATCH for portions of Hampton Roads until 10 p.m. this evening. The main hazards in any storms that do become severe look to be gusty, damaging winds, and small hail.
The front will linger across the area into Monday so an additional Level 1 out of 5 severe outlook has been issued for tomorrow as well.
