RICHMOND, Va. -- Tonight will be mostly clear and seasonal, with lows in the mid 60s. It will be hotter Friday as high pressure begins to strengthen over the region. Highs will reach the low to mid 90s.

Our hottest weather in this stretch will be over the weekend, when highs will approach triple digits. The heat index will peak around 100 degrees on Saturday, and could get as high as 105 Sunday.

Monday's temperature will not be as high as Sunday, but higher humidity will make it feel like it's around 100 at the hottest part of the day. A few storms will be possible Monday afternoon and evening.

We'll get a break from the humidity Tuesday and Wednesday, but Thursday will be hot and humid again, with scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms.

We are monitoring a disturbance near Belize and another north of the Bahamas for potential development over the next few days. More information is in the CBS 6 Hurricane Tracker.
