The high temperature in Richmond reached 73 on Monday, tying the record set in 1984. A cold front will move through Richmond at 3 AM Tuesday, ushering in a much colder air mass, and ending our short-lived warm up. Afternoon temperatures on Tuesday will be 25-30 degrees colder than those at the same time Monday. A winter storm watch is in effect for northwest Virginia, Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

Isolated Showers Today
A few showers developed earlier this morning mainly west of I-95 and north of I-64. These have diminished, but isolated showers are still possible for the rest of today.
Check out how cold it is out west - temps were well below zero in the upper Midwest for this morning!
This region dealt with a major storm over the weekend that dumped over a foot of snow in some locations (indicated by the deep shades of blue).

Check Out the "Perigee" Full Moon Tonight
The moon's orbit around the earth is not a perfect circle. At it's farthest point from earth, it's called at apogee, and it's at perigee at the closest point. Tonight's full moon is closest to perigee, and appears 14% larger and 30% brighter than full moons at apogee. Grab a jacket and go check it out. It's most dramatic when it's closer to the horizon. Have a great weekend!
