Wakefield, VA – A developing storm system will bring heavy showers and thunderstorms across Virginia tonight into Sunday morning. The National Weather Service warns of increased cloud cover and scattered rain starting this evening, with the possibility of embedded thunderstorms.
According to the NWS Wakefield, the storm will move southward overnight, bringing widespread showers to regions west of Interstate 95. The heavy rain is expected to last into Sunday morning, potentially causing brief periods of intense rainfall and localized flooding.
In particular, areas like Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Petersburg could experience a few strong storms as moisture from the northwest combines with the storm system. Motorists are urged to stay cautious, as roads may become slick due to rainfall, especially in the overnight hours.
The weather is expected to clear by Sunday afternoon, though scattered showers may persist throughout the evening. Residents should prepare for possible delays and monitor weather updates.
