RICHMOND, Va. -- Today will be muggy and much hotter. Highs will be in the mid to upper 90s, and the heat index will break 100 in some locations.
Widely scattered storms are possible in the afternoon and early evening, with the best chance west of I-95. Due to the muggy air, heavy downpours will occur in storms that do develop. There is a marginal risk (level 1 out of 5) for severe storms, mostly from the Richmond area and points north and west. This means a few isolated storms could have strong gusts.
Friday will be quite hot and muggy with highs 95-100, and a heat index breaking 105 in some locations. We will likely have a heat advisory issued. Widely scattered storms will be around again in the afternoon and early evening.
Saturday will be hot and muggy with highs in the mid 90s. Some clusters of storms are possible during the day. The heat index will break 105 in spots.
On Sunday, it will be a little cooler with highs in the lower 90s. A few isolated storms are possible, mostly across southern VA.
Slightly cooler weather is expected later next week.

Hurricane Beryl is moving away from the Cayman Islands and will hit the Yucatan Peninsula tonight into Friday morning.
It should weaken to a tropical storm once over the Yucatan Peninsula, but should become a hurricane again as it moves through the southwestern Gulf Of Mexico. It will make another landfall near the Texas/Mexico border late Sunday into Sunday night.
Another disturbance is in the eastern Caribbean, and shows a low chance of development. It may take a similar track to Beryl. If it develops further, the next name on the Atlantic list is Debby. More information can be found in the CBS 6 Hurricane Tracker.
