RICHMOND, Va. --Skies will remain cloudy to mostly cloudy with afternoon highs in the lower 50s, temps might climb a bit more through evening. A few light showers will be possible overnight, the low will only fall into the upper 40s, Tuesday will be mostly cloudy early, then partly sunny skies will help boost the temperatures into the upper 60s by Tuesday afternoon.

There will be a much stronger front coming into the region Wednesday into Thursday morning, though, and that will bring increasing rain chances mainly from Midday Wednesday through Wednesday night.

It will turn breezy and cooler Thursday, but the next shot of very cold air will hold off until later Friday, with next weekend bringing some of the coldest air of the month so far.  BTW, the timing will be appropriate, as the Winter  Solstice is Saturday.

It will turn progressively colder through next weekend. Highs will be 45-50 Friday, in the low to mid 40s Saturday, and in the 30s to around 40 Sunday. The winter solstice, the astronomical start to winter, occurs at 4:21 a.m. Saturday.
