RICHMOND, Va. -- More than 110,000 Dominion Energy customers were without electricity at one point after powerful storms Sunday morning followed a cold front that brought high winds to much of the Commonwealth.

A tornado warning was issued for parts of Central Virginia. That warning expired at 10:45 a.m. Then a severe thunderstorm warning was issued for multiple counties through 11:30 a.m.
"There is a squall line of heavier rain and thunder that has the potential to produce wind gusts over 60 mph and possibly an isolated tornado," CBS 6 Meteorologist Mike Stone wrote. "There will be a lull in the rain around midday. A cold front could cause a shower or thunderstorm this afternoon."
The winds will continue to gust up to 40 mph at times this evening, and a Wind Advisory is in effect until midnight. The strong wind gusts could bring some trees down due to the saturated soils and this may result in power outages.
