Near-record warmth this weekend

Richmond almost set a new record high Saturday!

Saturday’s high temperature in Richmond was 69 degrees, which was just one degree shy of the record high for February 7. As a matter of fact, we set that record high of 70 degrees just a year ago in 2008.

The record to beat for Sunday is 75 degrees from 1925. I think we will come close again to the record, as we did today.

Southwestern parts of the state, though, did tie or break record highs for February 7:

Danville: 71 (broke 1950 record high of 69)

Lynchburg: 68 (ties 1925 record high)

Roanoke: 68 (ties 1927 record high)
