RICHMOND, Va. -- The Perseid Meteor Shower peaks very early Sunday morning. While the waning crescent moon won't get in the way, some clouds likely will at least through about 2 A.M. The best time to view is between midnight and daybreak, assuming there are breaks in the clouds. The Perseids will still be active for the next couple of weeks, so if you miss out tonight all is not lost! It will be warm and humid overnight with lows will range from the upper 60s to the mid 70s.
Sunday will be hot and a bit muggier. Highs will be in the mid 90s, and the heat index could reach to near 105. A few pop-up storms are possible later in the day, although most locations will stay dry.
There will be a higher threat for storms on Monday. It will be very muggy with highs in the low 90s, with a heat index potentially reaching triple digits at times. The front responsible for triggering these storms will likely hang around on Tuesday, so rain chances remain in the picture.
It will turn a touch less humid Wednesday, with highs in the mid to upper 80s. Dry weather is expected through the end of the week into next weekend. Highs will be near or slightly above 90 Thursday through Saturday.
