RICHMOND, Va. -- Skies will remain variably cloudy Tuesday, and highs will again remain in the mid to upper 70s. There will be some clearing tonight with a low in the upper 50s.

A big warm-up will begin Wednesday as an upper-level ridge develops over the region. Highs will reach the low to mid 80s Wednesday, and will approach 90 degrees on Thursday and Friday.

The ridge will flatten this weekend, allowing a slow-moving cold front to pass through the Mid-Atlantic. Showers will be possible along the front Saturday afternoon and evening, with rain likely Saturday night into Sunday morning. The rain will taper during the day Sunday as drier and cooler air moves into the region.

Dry and mild weather is expected to resume early next week.

Tropical Depression Fay is still hanging on across the central Atlantic, but is expected to weaken to a non-tropical low by mid to late week. Tropical Storm Hanna is moving eastward over the north Atlantic is not expected to impact land as it gradually weakens.
