RICHMOND, Va. — Low clouds will slowly erode today, giving way to some sunshine this afternoon.

Some storms are expected to develop this afternoon, but they will be much more widely scattered than in recent days. Storms will be more concentrated across northern Virginia, where some storms could be severe. A flood watch has been issued into tonight for northern and northwestern Virginia.

Even though storm chances are lower today within our viewing area, any storm that develops will produce heavy rainfall, and the threat of flash flooding will remain.

Highs will be around 90 today, and in the low to mid 90s Thursday and Friday. The heat index will be around 100 today, and could exceed 105 Thursday and Friday.

Scattered storms will occur on Thursday, and we are under a marginal risk (level 1 out of 5) for severe storms. Storms will be more active again on Friday, with some storms around through the weekend.
