A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been in effect this afternoon, but the main action is well south and east of the Metro Richmond area and will continue moving out of the region. A secondary trough may kick off a passing shower or two on Wednesday, but otherwise rather quiet conditions are expected for the foreseeable future.
Slightly below average the next couple of days...
Temperatures this time of the year should average in the upper 70s during the day and mid to upper 50s overnight. We'll likely see readings a bit below this, averaging in the low to mid 70s for daytime highs and overnight lows in the upper 40s to low 50s.
The Memorial Day weekend outlook...
Wow, right now it looks terrific! High pressure building in from the north will offer plenty of sunshine and a warm-up is on the way as an upper ridge builds east. I'd expect temperatures in the mid 70s for Saturday, rising to around 80 on Sunday and well into the 80s Memorial Day.
90 degrees in our future?
In the longer range, temperatures may make a run at 90 degrees by Tuesday. However, a change is coming by mid-week as the next cold front moves into the region. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible later Wednesday into Thursday, with cooler air to finish the month of May. Our longer range charts show temperatures may come in a little below average the first couple of days of June, as another surface high builds in from the north.
