RICHMOND, Va. -- Rain will become more scattered later this afternoon and evening as an upper-level trough moves through the area. The high will be in the low to mid 70s. Heavy rain in South Side Virginia has prompted a Flood Watch down there through 8pm.

A lot of clouds, along with a few showers and drizzle will be with us most of Thursday. A few peeks of sunshine may appear by the afternoon.

Drier and warmer conditions are expected Friday through Sunday, with a slight chance for a shower or storm each day. Generally dry and seasonably hot weather is expected early next week.

Tropical Storm Dexter continues to move away from the U.S. over the open waters of the Atlantic. Another disturbance is located off the Southeast coast and has a medium chance of development. A third disturbance has emerged from the west coast of Africa and has a medium chance of becoming a named storm in the next 7 days.
