RICHMOND, Va. -- The high on Saturday reached 74° at Richmond International Airport.  This was 22° above normal and just shy of the record of 77° from 2011.  Highs Sunday will reach the low to mid 70s again across much of central Virginia.  It will be cooler near the coast.

A cold front will slip through late Sunday with just a few clouds and a shift in the wind.  This will bring some cooler weather for Monday into Tuesday, but these temperatures will still be well above normal.
