RICHMOND, Va. --Wednesday will bring hotter weather across much of Central Virginia with partly sunny skies and lower chances for rain and temps in the low 90s.

By Thursday, the cold front will push through triggering scattered showers and storms during the day and night, but offering a brief cool down for Friday with highs in the upper 80s.

Friday will be the best day for outdoor activities given the lower humidity. Summer officially begins Friday at 10:41 p.m.

Finally a dry stretch of weather takes hold by the end of the week and carries us through the weekend.

Saturday and Sunday will be dry and mostly sunny, but the hazy, hot and humid conditions will be the big weather story. Highs approach mid 90s and remain there throughout much of next week.

During this heat wave expect temperatures to remain in the mid to upper 90s with heat indices well into the triple digits.
