Although there will be some rain over the next week, it will probably not be enough to bring us out from the deficit of the last few weeks.
As severe storm season nears its peak, we tackle some persistent myths about lightning and why they have continued for so long. Â
Temperatures will bounce back into the 80s on Sunday
The warmer air spills into Virginia on Sunday with afternoons of at least 80 degrees.
Starting Sunday, afternoons will more consistently be above 80 degrees
Afternoons in the 70s and 80s will be common starting next week
Saturday will be the warmer of the two days this weekend as a result
Most of the weekend looks dry, but be on the lookout for end-of-weekend rain
Soaking rain will be nearby on Sunday, but there are questions as to how close it gets to Richmond.
Watching Sunday closely for the potential for a rainout
Temperatures will not reach the upper 80s, but they will remain above normal.
Significant rain is not likely until the end of next week
