RICHMOND, Va. -- A combination of heat and high humidity will produce dangerously hot conditions this weekend.  High temperatures in the mid to upper 90s, coupled with dew points in the 70s, will make it feel like it's well over 100° for many hours.  A heat advisory is in effect for much of Virginia into Saturday evening, and another heat advisory will be issued for Sunday.
