Weekend weather forecast: So dry you could light a match on it

Jump to Comments

Enjoy the warmer temperatures today as a cold front dips in on Saturday, bringing not only a bit of a chill to Richmond but air so dry that the friction made from blinking is considered at risk of starting a brush fire.

Saturday afternoon should be a rather nice one in the city, a beautiful day full of joggers, bikers and increased sales on various brands of foot creams and lip balm. 

The evening should be rather clear, with a sky full of stars as far as the red and swollen eyes can see. If you turn your head up and look to the west, you’ll be able to see Orion’s Belt. Just be sure to bring cottonballs, as you’ll be at increased risk for nosebleeds. 

By Sunday morning rain should be blanketing the area, though - and there’s no simple way to say this - you are going to wake up with a nose full of crusty snot.
