Scattered severe weather across Hampton Roads, central Virginia and northeast North Carolina is expected this afternoon and evening.

Immediately tie down or secure loose equipment and materials in your outdoor JLab work areas. Peak activity is expected around this afternoon through close of business. Contact your supervisor if it may affect your work schedule. Take extra care commuting from the lab.
