Despite a slight cool-down the last couple of days, temperatures across the region remain above average for this time of the year. Our averages in Richmond are a high of 62 and a low of 40. Tuesday will prove to be a very warm one, with afternoon readings in the 80s! The record high at RIC is 87 degrees, set in 1907 and we have an outside shot at reaching it.
This seems to be the time for backdoor cold fronts. Yet another one will settle into the area by Wednesday, leading to changeable skies and possibly a few showers. There's a better shot at showers Wednesday night and Thursday, as cooler air slides into the region. We'll break out of it on Friday though, and more warmer days are on tap for the weekend.
In the longer term...
Looking down the road, there may be a shot of much cooler air arriving between April 4-10, as the upper pattern shifts with a bit of a trough setting up in the East. However, the flow flattens after that and it looks like we'll be near or above average temperature-wise in mid-April. With a mainly zonal flow, it doesn't appear that we'll have any big rain events either.
