Get ready for a period of very hot weather, with afternoon temperatures of 90 or higher starting tomorrow, going through the weekend...and into early next week. A massive upper level ridge will build over the eastern U.S. and we could flirt with some record temperatures. Rain chances will be somewhat low beginning Thursday and going through the weekend, although a pop-up afternoon or evening thunderstorm is not out of the question. Temperatures should reach the mid 90s Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and possibly beyond...with dew points up in the low to mid 70s. The heat index (how it feels when you combine the temperature and humidity) could reach 105-110 degrees, so be prepared and take it easy this weekend. Here are some record highs in Richmond:
Thursday 6/5---97 degrees, set in 1943
Friday 6/6---96 degrees, set in 1952
Saturday 6/7---99 degrees, set in 1984
Sunday 6/8---99 degrees, set in 1899
Monday 6/9---98 degrees, set in 1999
Tuesday 6/10---98 degrees, set in 1964
