RICHMOND, Va. -- Tonight will be mostly clear, with temperatures dropping to around 63°. A light northeast wind will provide a gentle breeze, making for a comfortable night under the stars.

Saturday will bring sunny skies, with a high near 83°. A pleasant north wind at 6 to 8 mph will accompany the warmth. The clear skies will hold as we enjoy the Sturgeon Full Moon and lows in the low 60s overnight.

Sunday will be a nice day again with sunshine and slightly warmer weather with highs approaching the mid 80s. The evening will provide ideal viewing for the Perseid meteor shower, which is peaking the next few days. Be sure to find a dark spot away from city lights for the best experience!

It will turn muggy and hotter next week with highs getting back into the 90s. Scattered storms are possible later in the week.

Tropics: a disturbance off the Mid Atlantic coast is moving away from the United States, but a disturbance in the central Atlantic Ocean has a moderate chance of development. It is expected to track to the northwest, keeping it east of Bermuda.

Additional tropical waves will emerge off the west coast of Africa this week.

The next names on the Atlantic list are Erin and Fernand.
