Our extended string of hot days has begun, and will peak this weekend through Monday over the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. So far this month of June we've had just a handful of days with 90-degree plus temperatures, so overall we've been pretty lucky. High pressure ridging that's building over the East will assure us of our first real multi-day taste of summer, but hey, it's Richmond, and this is normally what summer is all about. While temperatures will be hot (low to mid 9...

This January thaw has been nice, and for the most part (a couple cooler snaps mixed in too) will be sticking around into the first day or two of February, but all the signs are pointing to an abrupt return to the deep freeze starting around February 5th or 6th. Once that big eastern trough in the jet stream redevelops, it could stay for quite awhile. Shades of early January? It's too soon to tell on that, but it does appear fairly certain that this warm/mild pattern will be on it...

A strong cold front will be moving through central Virginia on Tuesday morning. Showers are likely with the potential for some thunderstorms as well. While widespread severe weather is not anticipated, there will be strong enough dynamics in the atmosphere such that a few of these storms could turn severe with damaging wind gusts being the main threat. Even an isolated tornado can't be totally ruled out.
