RICHMOND, Va. --Clouds will gradually increase across the area tonight. It won't be as cold, with lows in the low and mid 40s.

We’ll see some limited sunshine Sunday morning, but the clouds will continue to thicken as a storm system approaches from the southwest. A passing shower is possible during the afternoon, but rain chances will ramp up in western VA and then in Metro Richmond during the evening. Highs will be in the low and mid 70s. Winds will increase from the southwest with some gusts over 20 mph.

The storm system will bring some heavy rain to the area Sunday night into Monday morning. We could see severe weather with damaging wind gusts, and there is the potential for isolated tornadoes.
