Hottest temperatures all year expected today

By Jeff Lawson

It looks like the hottest temperatures in several weeks are set to move in today.

In fact today should be about as hot as we have seen this spring. You can expect high temperatures to range from the lower 90s near the coast to as hot as the mid to upper 90s for areas that are well inland.

Most of us should be in the mid 90s but the humidity will make it feel a bit hotter than the actual air temperature.

There is also a chance of a thunderstorm late in the day as a weak cold front moves in and drops readings a bit for Sunday.

Today's rip current risk is low; the surfing forecast calls for 2- to 3-foot waves. Tomorrow, a small craft advisory is in effect from morning until late Sunday night.  Air quality today in Hampton Roads is moderate to good, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality says.
