RICHMOND, Va. -- A few thunderstorms are possible through around midnight. Storms that do develop will have heavy downpours and could produce gusty winds. Lows will be in the upper 60s and lower 70s.

The weekend will have a cloud/sun mix. Highs will be in the lower 90s Saturday with an isolated storm possible. It will be less humid with highs in the mid to upper 80s Sunday. A few isolated storms are possible, with higher chances for rain west of I-95..

It will turn cooler and more unsettled Monday and Tuesday with higher rain chances. Highs will be in the lower 80s.

Highs will be in the upper 70s and lower 80s going into next weekend.

Tropics: In the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Franklin is located east of the Bahamas. It is expected to become a hurricane as it tracks between the US and Bermuda (but closer to Bermuda). The track will keep it away from the east coast, but it will create rough surf and strong rip currents for early to mid-week. More details are available in the CBS Hurricane Tracker.

An area of disturbed weather is being monitored in the western Caribbean. There is a high chance of this developing into a tropical depression or storm in the next few days. Forecast models differ on potential strength and track, but the model trend is to take the system into western Florida by Wednesday, and it will then track northeasterly. Most models take the system to our southeast through the Carolinas, but the path is very uncertain at this point.
