RICHMOND, Va. β Thousands of Central Virginians are without power after severe storms moved through Metro Richmond on Friday evening.
Most of the outages are focused in Henrico County. As of midnight Saturday, roughly 7,000 people are without power across the state, according to the Dominion Energy outage map. That number has dropped to just over 2,600 as of 7:30 a.m. Saturday.

Scattered storms will track into central Virginia by late afternoon and early evening on Saturday. Not quite as many areas will see rain today as we did on Friday. The storms that develop will produce very heavy rainfall, and flash flooding will occur in some areas. A flood watch is in effect into tonight.
A few storms could be strong to severe with damaging wind gusts. The entire CBS 6 viewing area is under a slight risk (level 2 out of 5) for severe storms.
