Richmond, Va. meteorologists issued forecasts this week stating hot, dry conditions will persist through Friday, with scattered showers and storms expected Saturday and into next week across parts of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Broadly, highs through Friday climb into the upper 70s and 80s, with some models showing localized readings near 90 degrees and initial rain chances low. Across the region, forecasts this week warn of elevated fire danger and a Code Orange air-quality alert on Friday, driven by low humidity and transported smoke; Saturday night into Sunday carries the highest rain probabilities and cooler temperatures. Officials and meteorologists advised residents to monitor conditions Friday and into the weekend for changing timing, potential heavy downpours, and safety guidance.
