RICHMOND, Va. -- Tonight will be clear and still a bit chilly with lows ranging from the mid 30s to around 40.
Monday will have sunshine giving way to increasing clouds during the afternoon. There will be more clouds in the western half of the state, with a sprinkle or two possible west of I-95. Highs will be in the low 70s.
The partial solar eclipse will begin in Richmond at 2:02 p.m, with the sun 83% covered for a few minutes at 3:18 p.m. The eclipse will end at 4:31 p.m.
Do not look at the eclipse without special glasses. The path of totality (where the sun is 100% covered) will include parts of Indiana, Ohio, northwestern Pennsylvania, as well as western and northern New York state.
Many of those areas may see thick cloud cover, which will hamper visibility of the eclipse.
Around central Virginia, there will probably be a few scattered showers later Tuesday, with more around on Wednesday. Highs will be in the mid 70s. The most significant rain chances come on Thursday, when a few thunderstorms are possible. The rain will exit Friday morning.
Next weekend is looking dry and pleasant with highs in the 70s.
