RICHMOND, Va. -- A warm front is pushing through our area today, bringing noticeably warmer and breezier conditions. Highs will climb into the mid 80s under mostly sunny skies. Winds are mainly out of the south and gusting between 20 to 23 mph.

A broken line of showers and embedded thunderstorms will move into Virginia from the northwest late Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning. While these storms may weaken as they approach Central Virginia, some light rain will be felt especially north or Richmond.

Unsettled weather continues through Friday, with daily chances for showers and storms during the afternoon and evening hours. The combination of heat and humidity with help fuel this storm activity.

By the weekend, a cooler and drier air mass will begin to move in. Expect nice, bright weather on Sunday, with temperatures below average into early next week.
