RICHMOND, Va. -- Tonight will be colder with lows in the 20s to around 30.

Sunday will be cooler with sunshine. Highs will be in the mid 40s. For those observing Hanukkah, sunset is 4:53 p.m. Sunday night will be in the 20s, but some upper teens are possible in our coldest outlying areas.

The first half of the coming week will be dry with highs in the 40s. The winter solstice occurs Wednesday, December 21 at 4:48 p.m.

A storm system will bring rain to the area Thursday into Thursday night. This could start as a mix to the far northwest of Richmond. Highs will be in the 40s.

A strong cold front will pass early Friday, causing temperatures to crash during the day. Rain showers may mix with or change over to snow showers before the precipitation shuts off later in the day. It will be a windy day with temps falling through the 30s and into the 20s.

Much colder air will build in later Friday into next weekend. Highs will be in the upper 20s and lower 30s, and lows will be in the single digits and teens. As of now, both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day look dry.
