Here comes the heat: More 90s on the horizon!

Tonight features mostly clear skies with temperatures dipping back into the low 60s. Overall, it’s a pretty typical summertime night in the two Virginias.

Friday provides partly cloudy skies with a few isolated showers and storms in the afternoon with a stalled frontal boundary over the Shenandoah Valley with highs returning to the mid 80s. With the front located in Virginia, areas in our eastern counties will be the spots most likely to see a downpour or two, while our western counties should remain dry.

Saturday brings more heat and humidity and that will pop a few isolated to widely scattered downpours for the afternoon. Though storms will be widely scattered, they could produced locally heavy rainfall, as they won’t be moving quickly. Just as on Friday, the best chance for a storm or two will be in the mountains, with a stalled frontal boundary still draped over the Shenandoah Valley. In the meantime, it’s a hot day with high temperatures in the upper 80s.

Sunday continues to provide the risk for an isolated shower or two in the afternoon with the building heat and humidity with high temperatures around 90 degrees. Heat index values will likely be in the low to mid 90s.

Monday continues the heat and humidity trend – it’s a touch hotter even, as the mercury will flirt with 90 degrees for high temperatures and afternoon isolated showers and storms still possible.

Tuesday keeps the heat cranking with isolated to scattered thunderstorms with high temperatures near 90 degrees.

Wednesday brings scattered showers likely to the region with a cold front scooting through the area. This front could bring some beneficial rains to the region with highs in the upper 80s.

Thursday keeps the risk for a few showers around with highs in the 80s.

Looking ahead in your extended forecast, high pressure returns on Friday with temperatures in the 80s, though a few isolated showers return for the weekend with highs in the 80s.
