StormTracker8: Beautiful fall weather for the week

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) – Clear skies to be with us for tonight and it will be a touch chilly without overnight lows in the lower 40s while some of you to the west in northwest of Metro Richmond may fall back into the upper 30s.

Tuesday will start off with sunny skies, but a few clouds will develop in the afternoon as a very weak cold front approaches us, which will give us a couple of extra clouds during the afternoon making it partly sunny. Our high temperatures will top out in the lower 70s.

There might be a quick shower early Tuesday night otherwise we will have partly cloudy skies with lows around 50.

Wednesday will feature mostly sunny skies with highs in the middle to upper 60s.

Thursday, Friday, and Saturday look absolutely delightful with sunny skies and highs remaining in the middle to upper 60s.

More clouds could increase on Sunday with highs in the upper 60s as another weather system heads our way.

That system could provide us with the risk of showers for Monday and Tuesday with highs remaining in the middle to upper 60s.

Tracking the tropics.

There is the chance that a tropical wave down in the Southern Caribbean could become Melissa in the next 24 hours. Right now, it has a 70% chance of development in the next two days and a 90% chance of developing in the next 7 days.
