RICHMOND, Va. -- Our long stretch of nearly consistent and very comfortable weather will change a little on Sunday, as a southwesterly breeze brings warmer air into the region. Skies will remain mostly sunny, with highs reaching the mid to upper 80s.
Monday will be hot with highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s. A backdoor cold front will try to sink southward on Tuesday, and this may cause temps to be a few degrees cooler. It is not out of the realm of possibility we could see a sprinkle, but that chance is very low.
It will be hot and humid Wednesday with scattered showers and storms ahead of a seasonally strong cold front. Showers will continue to be possible Thursday as the front moves through the area. The autumnal equinox occurs at 9:04 p.m. Thursday.
Behind this front, it will be cooler and less humid again at the end of the week. Highs will be in the mid to upper 70s Friday and Saturday, and in the low to mid 80s on Sunday. Morning lows for the weekend will be in the 40s in spots.
Tropics: Tropical Storm Fiona is located in the eastern Caribbean, and will track near Puerto Rico this weekend. Fiona will likely become a hurricane Sunday. It will then move to the eastern side of the Dominican Republic on Monday. Fiona is expected to track east of the Bahamas, near the Turks & Caicos Islands, Tuesday and Wednesday. After that point, it is expected to curve away from the United States and track just west of Bermuda before heading into the north Atlantic. The track could change, so we will continue to have updates this week. More info can be found in the CBS 6 Hurricane Tracker.
