What to expect around Petersburg as Virginia faces severe storms

Spring is making one heck of an entrance.

After a week of record high temperatures, a major winter storm affecting the Plains and Midwest with impacts felt far from the storm’s center is forecast to arrive overnight Sunday, March 15 and especially on Monday for parts of the Mid-Atlantic states and southeast, including the Petersburg and Tri-Cities region.

Widespread severe thunderstorms bringing flooding downpours are forecast Monday, according to the NOAA Storm Prediction Center. Tornadoes, potentially strong, and particularly damaging winds are most likely from South Carolina into Maryland during the afternoon, the NOAA said Sunday.
