We'll still likely see a few scattered storms during the afternoon and evening. The storms that develop may produce torrential downpours, and we have a slight risk of severe weather from Metro Richmond north and east, with a marginal risk to the south and west. The main threat would be damaging winds, although there a low-end tornado threat.
Monday will be quite hot and muggy with highs in the low to mid 90s. The heat index in the afternoon will make it feel near or a little above 100°. While an isolated storm cannot be ruled out, most areas will be dry.
It will stay hot and muggy through Friday. A backdoor cold front will cool areas north of I-64 a bit Wednesday and Thursday. There will be the risk of a few scattered storms each day, with better chances on Friday.
