Good morning RVA: You’re gonna love today
Today’s weather looks beautiful, City Council asks for help with the Shockoe stadium proposal, and it’s time to update your iPhones.

Good morning, RVA! How nice was yesterday afternoon? Look for more of the same today: right now it’s 51.8 °F with today’s highs in the mid-70s! No only that, but those highs hit right around 5:00 PM. Expect a super pleasant ride home, especially if your vehicle is of the two-wheel variety. Also expect some of the city’s watering holes to begrudgingly open up their outside seating.
Today has the chance to be the warmest day since…December 22nd. #weather
