RICHMOND, Va. -- It will be quite cool overnight, with many locations away from the coast ending up in the 40s to around 50 early Monday morning. The record low for RIC is 47 degrees, set in 1986.
Despite a cool start in the morning, highs Monday afternoon will be around 80 with plenty of sunshine. Monday night will be very cool again, with lows ranging from the 40s to the low and mid 50s in the Metro Richmond area. Tuesday afternoon will be warmer, with highs in the low and mid 80s.
The dry pattern will continue through the rest of the week, with highs in the low and mid 80s, and lows mostly in the 50s.
Some moisture moving in from the southwest will bring some increasing cloud cover Friday into next weekend, with a low end possibility of a few showers.
In the tropics, Potential Tropical Cyclone #6 is in the southwest Gulf of Mexico as of Sunday night. It does not currently have a well-defined center, but is showing gradual signs of organization. The system will likely become Tropical Storm Francine on Monday. It is expected to track along the Gulf Coast of Mexico and then approach the Upper Texas and Louisiana coasts by Wednesday. There's a good possibility it will become a hurricane prior to making landfall.
An area of low pressure over the central Atlantic is showing signs of organization and further development is likely. It could become a tropical depression over the next couple of days. And another disturbance farther east in the Atlantic is expected to move very little over the next two days, but may eventually interact with a tropical wave coming off the coast of Africa. That could lead to a tropical depression forming later in the week. More information is available in the CBS 6 Hurricane Tracker.
