Sunday, March 16 is an ABC13 Weather Alert Day. (WSET)

LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) — Sunday is an ABC13 Weather Alert Day.

Storm threat windows on Sunday look to come in two rounds.

The first is between 6 a.m. through noon. The second is between 3 p.m. through 7 p.m.

The first round of storms will arrive near sunrise. These will again be decaying storms that have developed to our west. The severe threat with these is low but not zero.

We may get a lull as we head into the afternoon before more storms get going in the heat and humidity.

The storms in the afternoon on Sunday have a higher chance of turning strong to severe.

The main threat will be the gusty winds. We could also see some small hail and isolated flooding concerns.

A tornado warning is possible as we head into Sunday.

The greatest likelihood of seeing one comes in the afternoon, but the morning round could also feature them.

Have the ABC13 Weather App handy on Sunday. The highs are near 70.

On Monday we calm and cool things down with the passage of the front.

The highs are only in the 50s. Warming up quickly by Tuesday and Wednesday with the next chance at rain on Thursday.
