Summary
WWBT flagged July 1-3 as First Alert Weather Days after forecasting Richmond highs of 100°F on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Humidity is expected to push feels-like temperatures even higher, with forecasters warning the stretch could approach record highs.
July 4 currently looks slightly cooler, with highs in the mid-90s, though WWBT said storm chances and holiday weekend temperatures will be refined closer to next weekend.
The local alert fits a broader Midwest-to-East heat wave expected during Fourth of July week, with triple-digit heat indices forecast across much of the region.
