A Saturday Soaker...

Moisture moving in from the south ahead of an approaching cold front will mean showers overnight for us and some pretty good rain to start the weekend. As the front moves in, a few thunderstorms are possible as well, producing local downpours. Our two main computer models are projecting about 1.25" in the Metro Richmond area, so a healthy rainfall indeed. While the weekend will start very wet, it will end on a dryer note, with a blend of sun and clouds on Sunday. Temperature-wise, we'll be up and down, with readings in the upper 60s and low 70s tomorrow, dipping back down into the 50s on Sunday.

A parade of chill arrives early next week...

A series of disturbances will roll through the Mid-Atlantic early next week, ushering in progressively colder air. There will probably even be snow showers in the air over the higher elevations to the west, especially on Tuesday. High temperatures in the Richmond area will be in the mid 50s on Monday, dipping into the 40s by Wednesday. Overnight lows should get well down into the 20s mid-week, so we're in for a real taste of chill. No major storms are expected throughout the week.
