RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - Tomorrow is a First Alert Weather Day as the remnants of Ida arrive in Virginia with the threat for heavy rain and potentially a few tornadoes.

Ida is expected to be just north and west of Central Virginia on Wednesday. This positioning will place Central Virginia in the right front quadrant of the storm, which is the area in a tropical system most favorable for strong storms and tornadoes.

As expected, we are now in a “slight risk” zone for severe storms.

This is what it could look like Wednesday at 7 p.m.:

Heavy rain is also a concern. However, heaviest rain totals look to stay back to our northwest and farther toward the north out of our area. Flash Flood Watches are in effect through early Thursday with 2″+ of rain possible.
