RICHMOND, Va. -- Skies will be variably cloudy tonight and there may be a couple of passing sprinkles. It will be cool, with lows in the 50s.
Sunday will feature intervals of clouds and sunshine. A gusty southwest breeze will boost afternoon temperatures into the low and mid 80s. A few scattered showers and a thunderstorm or two are possible, with the highest rain chances coming very late in the afternoon into the evening. Any storm that develops could produce some strong wind gusts.
Monday will turn mostly sunny with highs around 80. The rest of the week will have highs in the 70s, and lows in the 40s and low 50s.
In the tropics, Tropical Storm Ian is in the Caribbean south of Jamaica, and is expected to rapidly strengthen and become a hurricane by Sunday morning. It will track near or just west of the Cayman Islands later Sunday night and early Monday. Ian is then likely to track near or over western Cuba late Monday and move into the eastern Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday. Based on the current computer model forecast data, it could be a threat to the Florida peninsula during the middle of the coming week. The ultimate path beyond a few days is still highly uncertain, so all eyes on the Gulf will be watching closely. Moisture may eventually spread north toward our area Friday into Saturday.
The remnants of Fiona are moving through eastern Canada, with high winds and locally heavy rain. Tropical Storm Gaston remains in the northeastern Atlantic near the Azores. Hermine has been downgraded to a tropical depression near the west coast of Africa. And finally, an area of disturbed weather over the central Atlantic is being monitored for potential development.
