RICHMOND, Va. -- Clouds will increase tonight and there will be some scattered showers around before dawn as a cold front slides south of us. Lows will range from the mid 60s to the low 70s.
Sunday will have more clouds and some scattered showers. There could be a thunderstorm or two, especially across southside Virginia. Highs will be in the low to mid 80s.
That front will hang out in northern North Carolina Monday into Tuesday, with a few waves of low pressure moving along it. That will keep the threat for showers and a few thunderstorms around. Rain chances will be highest in southern VA, where we could see in excess of an inch of rain. Highs will be in the upper 70s and low 80s.
Our weather later this week will depend upon a tropical system that is developing in the western Caribbean. It has just been named Tropical Depression #10 and should strengthen into Tropical Storm Idalia over the next few days. The storm will likely move into western Florida or the Panhandle Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, with the track thereafter rather uncertain. Much of the model data continues to track the storm southeast of Virginia, but it's possible it could end up moving farther west. We will continue to track this over the next few days and make any forecast adjustments as necessary. If there are any changes, it would likely be for Thursday into early Friday.
In the Atlantic, Franklin is now a hurricane, and may become a major hurricane as it passes near Bermuda. The track will keep it away from the east coast, but it will create rough surf and strong rip currents for early to mid-week. And there's another disturbance in the central Atlantic that is being given a 30% chance of development.
