RICHMOND, Va. -- It will be a muggy and hot day with variable cloudiness. Highs will range from the mid 80s to the lower 90s, with a heat index in the metro near 100°.
Scattered storms will develop to the west by mid-afternoon, and then track into central Virginia by late afternoon and early evening. Not quite as many areas will see rain today as we did on Friday.

A few storms could be strong to severe with damaging wind gusts. The entire CBS 6 viewing area is under a slight risk (level 2 out of 5) for severe storms.
Storms will exit before midnight, and it will stay muggy overnight with areas of fog possible.
