RICHMOND, Va. -- Today will be humid with highs in the low to mid 80s. Clouds will break for some sun at times. A few passing showers are possible, but rain chances are fairly low. Rain chances are higher in far southeastern Virginia.

There is a higher chance of rain on Saturday, but it will not rain the entire day. Heavy rainfall is possible. It will be cooler with highs in the 70s.
Sunday will be mostly cloudy with some showers around at times, but rain chances will be lower than Saturday.
Our weather Monday through Wednesday depends on a tropical system's development and track. More details are below.
Tropics:
Humberto is expected to become a major hurricane as it tracks between the United States and Bermuda. More details are available in the CBS 6 Hurricane Tracker.
A strong tropical wave is located near eastern Cuba, and shows high signs of development. It will track northwestward towards the Bahamas.
After that point, the computer models have a wide range of possible tracks. Some models have the storm making a landfall down in South Carolina, or near the North Carolina/South Carolina border. The moisture will then increase in Virginia for Monday and Tuesday. If this happens, there is the potential for multiple inches of rain, especially across southern Virginia.
Some other models have the storm curving away from the United States, so the exact track is still uncertain. If it develops into a tropical storm, it will be named Imelda.
We will have further updates today and this weekend.
