Several severe thunderstorm warnings were issued for parts of Central Virginia on Sunday.

Meteorologist Mike Stone said our best chance of storms in the metro would be between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. There was a marginal risk (level 1 out of 5) for severe storms with strong wind gusts.

Due to the muggy air, storms produced very heavy rainfall, and localized flooding was possible.
