From LWX's afternoon AFD re evening and tonight... sounds like you were right on your post but maybe?

The cold front will drop into the area from the north this
evening before slowly moving through our area into central
Virginia overnight. Scattered showers and thunderstorms may
accompany the frontal passage later this evening, and with
strong shear in place there is a threat for severe
thunderstorms. However, confidence is lower due to the loss of
daytime heating. Convection should dissipate overnight as the
front drops farther south and drier air begins to filter in from
the northwest.

Remain alert for a possible tornado! Tornadoes can develop quickly
from severe thunderstorms. If you spot a tornado go at once into the
basement or small central room in a sturdy structure.

For your protection move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a
building.

Large hail and damaging winds and continuous cloud to ground
lightning is occurring with these storms. Move indoors immediately.
Lightning is one of nature`s leading killers. Remember, if you can
hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck by lightning.

           I'm not closing the door on round 2;   it just seems less likely unless you're further north.    The obs over the next few hours will tell the story.
