RICHMOND, Va. -- Skies will be mostly clear overnight, with lows in the low and mid 50s.

Sunday will start sunny, but clouds will increase during the afternoon. It will be breezy and warm with gusts over 25 mph, and highs in the upper 70s to around 80. An approaching cold front will bring the threat for evening showers, likely arriving near just before sunset in on the west side of Richmond. Showers will continue over the region through the evening, and a few rumbles of thunder and strong wind gusts are possible.

Behind the front, Monday will be sunny, breezy and cooler with highs in the upper 60s to around 70°. Lows Monday night will range from the mid 30s northwest to the mid 40s southeast. Tuesday will be mostly sunny and warmer again, with highs in the low to mid 70s. Then another cold front will pass through the region Tuesday night, although it should be a dry frontal passage.

Highs the rest of the week will mainly be in the mid to upper 60s. Overnight lows will be in the 40s, but some 30s will occur in outlying areas Friday morning.

In the tropics, a tropical wave approaching the Windward Islands has a chance for some development as it heads into the Caribbean Sea by the early part of the coming week.

If you see something wispy-looking in the skies the next few days, it is the Comet Lemmon. It has been visible to the naked eye, but further detail can be seen with binoculars or a telescope.
