RICHMOND, Va. -- Clouds will slowly erode this afternoon, especially west of I-95. A few more sprinkles are possible. Highs will be in the 50s near the coast, in the 60s for the metro, and the 70s to the far southwest.

Areas of low clouds and fog will occur Thursday night into Friday morning. Lows will range from the upper 30s to the mid 40s.

A total lunar eclipse happens tonight, just after 1 a.m. The Earth will move directly between the sun and the full moon casting a red shadow — hence the name "blood" — onto the moon. The shadow will cover 100% of the moon just before 3 a.m. However, increasing cloud cover may hamper viewing for central and eastern Virginia.

Friday will start off with clouds and fog, and a few sprinkles are possible. Clouds will give way to sun in the afternoon. Highs will be in the low to mid 60s for the metro, but will be in the 50s near the coast.

Saturday will have variable cloudiness with highs in the 70s away from the coast. An isolated shower or sprinkle is possible, mostly northwest of Richmond.

It will be windy on Sunday with showers developing as a storm system approaches. Rain chances will be higher west of I-95. Highs will be in the 70s. There will be the chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. Some storms could be severe with damaging wind gusts.

Leftover showers will exit early Monday morning. Highs will be in the lower 60s.

Highs will be 65-70 on Tuesday and 75-80 on Wednesday.

There will be the chance of a few showers Thursday.
