It’s a damp, cool evening in the RVA! 📉 A classic spring wedge pattern is locking in low clouds and drizzle tonight.
While the Memorial Day weekend won't be a total washout, we are tracking multiple rounds of much-needed rain through Monday. Get the full timing for your holiday plans here!
A cold front brings scattered severe storms and heavy rain tonight (mainly south of I-64). Memorial Day weekend will be damp, cool, and highly unsettled as a "wedge" of chilly marine air locks in for Friday and Saturday, keeping temperatures in the 60s for many.
A late-weekend warmup brings a return to the 80s, but rain chances stick around through early next week, delivering 1.0" to 2.5" of drought-busting rainfall. Rough seas will create hazardous beach conditions.

Not feeling well today so no video. Next video is scheduled for Friday, May 22nd.
The heat is on along the east coast
Today and Wednesday will bring blistering, near-record heat in the mid-to-upper 90s across the region. A slowing cold front brings a marginal risk for strong-to-severe storms late Wednesday night, primarily north of Richmond, with damaging wind gusts being the main threat.
Behind the front, a dramatic weather pattern shift (a cold air damming wedge) will cause temperatures to plummet into the 60s and 70s by Friday, bringing damp, cloudy, and unsettled conditions that could linger through much of the holiday weekend. Beachgoers and mariners should also prepare for building seas and a moderate rip current risk for all area beaches starting Thursday.

It is feeling like July out there tonight, RVA! ☀️
Summer heat has arrived early, and we are looking at widespread mid-90s keeping things hot and dry through Wednesday.
Enjoy the sunshine, but keep an eye on the late-week forecast as a cold front brings storm chances and a massive cool-down. Get the full timeline here!
The Mid-Atlantic is getting an early taste of summer with inland temperatures soaring into the low 90s from Monday through Wednesday under clear skies, though low humidity will keep it from feeling oppressive.
A slight 20% chance of a late-afternoon storm exists today north of Richmond and on the Eastern Shore. However, a strong cold front arriving Thursday night will completely flip the script for Memorial Day Weekend, dropping temperatures back into the 70s (and even 60s) alongside cloudy skies, onshore winds, and patchy drizzle.

Happy Saturday, RVA!
Now that we’ve made it through another week in the 804, I wanted to open up a spot for our weekly "vibe check" on the weather.
We all see the apps, but we know the experience can be different, whether you’re in the Fan, Midlothian, or out in Mechanicsville.
A few conversation starters for the week that was:
• The Highlight: What was your favorite "outdoor moment" this week? (A perfect patio dinner, a great run on the Buttermilk trail, or just a nice walk in the park?)
• The Surprise: Did your neighborhood get hit with a random downpour while the rest of the city stayed dry?
• The Forecast vs. Reality: Did the week actually feel like what the news predicted, or were you caught off guard?
• Yard Watch: How are the gardens/lawns looking? Is the pollen finally letting up, or are we still living in a yellow haze?
I’m a massive weather geek and I track the technical data all week long, but I love hearing the "boots on the ground" reports from everyone across the metro area.

Say goodbye to the cool, damp air, RVA! ☀️
Skies are clearing out tonight, setting us up for a spectacular weekend warm-up. We’ll hit the upper 70s tomorrow and blast straight into the upper 80s and 90s by Sunday.

An upper-level trough is bringing cooler, cloudier weather and scattered showers to the region this evening, with temperatures 10–15 degrees below average. However, a major pattern shift begins this weekend as high pressure moves offshore, ushering in a significant warming trend with highs reaching the low-to-mid 90s by early next week.
