First Alert Weather Days for heat

|
By Andrew Freiden 
| WWBT-TV (Richmond, VA)
RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - Sunny, hot, and dry weather will be the story for the next three days as we climb to near record territory. Monday’s record is 95 (set in 1962) Tuesday’s record is 97 (also set in 1962) Wednesday’s Record is 97 (set in 2022) While it will be hot, we don’t expect excessively humid conditions. It’s unlikely that we get an “Excessive Heat Advisory.” An advisory is only issued if the heat index is forecasted to be 105° for three straight hours.

Blue crabs spotted in James River amid drought conditions

RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - Blue crabs are turning up in the Richmond area of the James River, a sign of how ongoing drought conditions change the river. Reduced freshwater runoff into the Chesapeake Bay has allowed saltier water from the Bay to push farther upstream, increasing salinity levels in the James River and making it easier for species such as blue crabs to travel inland. This is a normal thing when the river drops. I’m not suggesting this is something new.

First Alert Weather Day Thursday

|
By Andrew Freiden 
| WWBT-TV (Richmond, VA)
RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - Tomorrow’s weather will be a shock to the system after today’s [likely] record warmth in the mid-to-upper 80s. Today will be the last day in an eight day stretch of much warmer than normal weather. Cold rain will mix with wet snow-- a sign of sharply dropping temperatures. After plain rain in the early morning, temperatures will crash from the 60s to the 30s by midday, bringing a rain-snow mix or even just snow for some of us. We’ll also get a brisk NW breeze.
