Late evening update...Tornado Watch continues until 3 A.M.

So far, a few strong storms have rolled through the area, but no significant severe weather reports. The second line (that still is a pretty decent squall line) is moving through counties west and south of Richmond. This line will likely cross the I-95 corridor between 11 P.M. and 3 A.M. Low level moisture is abundant, along with good shear profiles, so the threat for severe weather will continue and an isolated tornado or two could spawn up. The main threat will continue to be damaging winds, potentially in excess of 60 mph. After about 2 A.M., the threat should diminish in the metro area, but could linger along the coast until about 4 A.M.
