RICHMOND, Va. --Highs will be in the low to mid 70s Wednesday, and the upper 60s on Thursday and Friday. Some high clouds will be with us later Wednesday and Thursday. Overnight temperatures will dip into the 40s in most locations.

In the tropics: Hurricane Milton regained category 5 intensity this afternoon, but is expected to weaken Wednesday as it encounters wind shear and dry air. Milton will make landfall early Thursday morning as the first major hurricane to hit that area since 1921. The hurricane will accelerate eastward across Florida and out to sea.

Leslie is still in the east-central Atlantic, tracking northwest over the open waters. Another tropical wave that is about to move off the coast of Africa will be monitored for potential development this week.
