RICHMOND, Va. -- Tonight will be variably cloudy, warm and humid. Lows in and around Richmond will remain in the low 70s. An isolated shower or storm will be possible this evening.

Scattered storms will be possible again Saturday, with chances continuing into Sunday.

There will be a threat for severe weather Saturday afternoon and evening across far southeast Virginia. Straight-line wind damage will be the primary concern.

Dry and seasonably hot weather is expected early next week.

A large ridge of high pressure will develop to our west next week, bringing our highs into the upper 90s Wednesday and around 100 next Thursday.

All of Virginia continues to be in a drought. The area covered by extreme drought has decreased very slightly, but it still encompasses one-third of the state.
