RICHMOND, Va. -- Showers and storms will track eastward the rest of today. Storm chances will be highest in the metro through around 4 p.m.

Rain and storms will exit southeastern Virginia near or just after 6 p.m.

It will be a bit windy with gusts over 30 mph. However, higher gusts are possible in storms, and there is a marginal risk (level 1 out of 5) for strong to severe storms for central and eastern Virginia.

Rainfall totals will be mostly 1/4 to 1/2 inch, but locally higher totals under an inch are possible.

While it will not be as warm as yesterday, highs will be in the low to mid 70s for much of the region, with upper 70s to around 80 southeast and east of Richmond.
