Richmond is waking to a clear, brisk Monday morning around 41 degrees, but the day will turn into a classic fall reset: sunny skies, a high near 66 and north winds of 7 to 13 mph. Gusts could reach 21 mph, so the sunshine will look warmer than it feels.
There is no rain in the city forecast today, and temperatures should climb through the 40s and 50s before peaking in the mid-60s during the afternoon. The National Weather Service expects clear skies again Monday night, with temperatures falling to about 48 degrees and north winds continuing at 7 to 10 mph.
Tuesday Brings Another Sunny, Breezy Day
Tuesday looks much the same, only a little warmer, with sunshine, a high near 69 and north winds of 10 to 14 mph. Gusts could reach 22 mph, making exposed areas feel noticeably cooler than the thermometer suggests.
Wednesday stays sunny with a high near 65, while Thursday and Friday settle near 66. The dry stretch continues into the weekend, with highs around 64 Saturday and 67 Sunday and overnight lows generally in the mid-40s to upper 40s.
Coastal Flooding Stays Focused East Of Richmond
Richmond should avoid the most serious impacts from the offshore storm system, but coastal areas face a longer-lasting round of high water and rough surf. The forecast discussion calls for minor to moderate coastal flooding during high tides from Monday into Wednesday night, along with breaking waves of 8 to 14 feet along the Atlantic coast.
For comparison, Sunday's Hoodline forecast focused on Richmond's dry warmup; the latest outlook adds more detail on the coastal hazards while keeping the city forecast quiet. For local residents, the practical takeaway is simple: chilly starts, sunny afternoons and a jacket-worthy breeze through midweek.
