Cityscape // This usually bubbling fountain spotted Tuesday in Capitol Square offers icy evidence of the brutal cold that has gripped Richmond and much of the East Coast in recent days. Happily, a thaw is on the way. According to the National Weather Service, warming temperatures will arrive Sunday, sending daytime highs above the freezing mark. By next Monday, the forecast calls for the high to leap to around 50, although with a chance of evening rain. Daytime high temperatures are expected to be in the 40s most of next week, according to weather forecasts, with nights continuing to be cold. Looking even further ahead, Inauguration Day is expected to be relatively warm but potentially wet for incoming Gov. Ralph S. Northam. The high is forecast to be around 50, with a 50 percent chance of showers as he takes the oath of office at noon Saturday, Jan. 13, on the south steps of the Capitol.
