A Nor’easter located off the coast is expected to linger into Thursday, bringing prolonged northeast winds and shallow tidal flooding to the Richmond area, according to NBC12.

This weather pattern will maintain bright sunshine with no rain likely, potentially lasting through the end of the month, the local forecast states.

Wednesday will be sunny and breezy with north to northwest winds gusting over 20 mph and highs reaching the upper 60s.

The following days will remain mostly sunny with cooler temperatures, lows in the 40s, and highs ranging from the low 60s to around 70 degrees through Tuesday.

Residents are encouraged to stay aware of tidal flooding impacts and enjoy the dry, sunny conditions while they last, NBC12 advised.
