Warm and humid weather gives way to much, MUCH cooler conditions for the end of the week, but this weekend looks to be blustery and rainy as an early-season coastal low moves past the area.

Focus on Central Virginia - Week of 9/29/25

An unsettled start to the week will give way to sunny skies and seasonable temperatures. Tropical Storm Imelda won't be a threat, and you might want to have a sweater or light jacket handy later this week!

Focus on Central Virginia - Week of 9/22/25

Quiet to start the week, but increasing chances of much, much needed rain between Wednesday and Saturday. We also need to keep an eye on the tropics as there could be some development late this weekend/early next week.

Pleasant weather stays in place in Central Virginia today, but heat and humidity return tomorrow and stick around through Saturday. Second Summer should be short, though, with a return to fall-like weather on Sunday.
