RICHMOND, Va. — Thursday will be hot and muggy with a mix of clouds and sun.

A heat advisory is in effect for central and eastern Virginia.

Highs will be in the low to mid 90s, with a heat index breaking 105° in spots.

There will be the chance of a few scattered storms this afternoon and evening. The storms that do develop could have some strong gusts, and much of the region is under a marginal risk (level 1 out of 5) for severe storms.

Due to the muggy air being locked into our region, any storm that develops over the next few days will have heavy rainfall. Localized flooding will remain a threat.

Thunderstorms will be more numerous across the region Friday afternoon and evening. A marginal risk for severe storms continues. Heavy rainfall amounts will occur with the storms, and more flooding will be possible. Highs will be in the upper 80s and lower 90s, with a heat index near or a little above 100°.

More storms are expected Saturday afternoon and evening, with the potential for flooding.

Storms will turn more widely scattered for Sunday and early next week.

There will be a slight drop in the heat and humidity Monday into Tuesday. More 90s are expected later next week.
