Sunny and mild start to the week in Richmond with breezy conditions

WTVR CBS 6 reported that Richmond and surrounding areas will experience a dry and mild start to the week with sunny skies and highs in the upper 60s on Monday. A cold front moving through will bring breezy conditions, with wind gusts reaching 25 to 30 mph.

Temperatures are expected to drop into the 30s overnight Monday, raising the possibility of a light freeze and patchy frost in rural parts of interior Virginia. A Frost Advisory may be issued for areas still in the growing season, according to the Weather Authority.

Tuesday will remain dry and comfortable, with highs climbing to around 70 degrees. Overnight lows will settle back into the 30s inland and 40s near the coast.

By Wednesday, temperatures could reach the lower 70s in interior Virginia, but clouds will increase later in the day as a new weather system approaches. Thursday will be mostly dry with highs in the 60s, but rain is expected Thursday night ahead of a strong cold front.

Rain will linger into Friday morning, mainly north and northeast of Interstate 64, with light amounts overall. The weekend will bring noticeably colder weather, with highs in the 50s and overnight lows near or below freezing, though conditions will remain dry.
