First Alert Weather Day: Low end severe risk as Fred passes west of Virginia tonight into Wednesday - WWBT NBC12 News

RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - As the remnants of Fred slide west of Virginia tonight into Wednesday, Central Virginia will need to keep an eye out for the low-end potential of a brief tornado. That’s why Wednesday is a First Alert Weather Day.

The remnant center of circulation with Fred will cross the state of West Virginia tonight and Wednesday. That places Virginia on the right-hand side of the storm. The right side of a remnant tropical system is where you can sometimes get a spin up tornado, so we will need to watch that threat closely.

The Storm Prediction Center has RVA points west included in a level 1 out of 5 marginal risk for severe weather and a tornado or two Tuesday evening into Tuesday night.

On Wednesday, metro Richmond points north and west is covered by the level 1 out of 5 risk. Again the threat will be for a brief spin up tornado and potentially gusty winds with any thunderstorms.

At this point the threat looks like it’s on the lower side for Central Virginia, but we will keep a close eye on any changes.

The other threat we will be watching is for the risk of flash flooding with additional downpours Tuesday night into Wednesday. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for the Richmond metro and surrounding counties until Wednesday evening.
