The National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Watch for Northern Virginia and the D.C. area through 8 p.m. Monday.
A watch means conditions are favorable for a tornado to form. It does not mean a tornado has been sighted.
Storms are expected to move into the area between 4 and 9 p.m. Heavy rains and possible damaging winds are expected.
Rain may be heavy at times, it will not last long enough to cause flash flooding, the NWS said.
