Virginia – A sharp chill is hanging over coastal neighborhoods this morning, where temperatures in the mid-30s are cold enough to trigger frost in some areas and leave surfaces feeling crisp underfoot. The calm air only adds to that early bite.
According to the National Weather Service in Wakefield, temperatures are expected to dip into the upper 20s to low 30s early, creating frost and freeze conditions across parts of eastern Virginia and nearby regions. Sensitive plants and early spring growth could take a hit if left unprotected.
Across Virginia Beach and the Hampton Roads area, sunshine quickly takes over today, pushing highs to around 55°F. Winds stay light, making for a calmer but still cool day along I-264 and coastal routes.
The warming trend builds fast into the first week of April. By Monday, highs reach near 69°F under mostly sunny skies. Tuesday continues the climb, with temperatures pushing into the low 70s and clear conditions dominating.
By Wednesday, the region hits near 75°F, marking a full transition into spring warmth. However, changes follow quickly. A 30% chance of showers develops after 2 p.m., with increasing clouds and damp roads possible by evening.
Rain chances increase further Wednesday night, with showers likely and a 60% chance continuing into early Thursday. Drivers along I-64, I-264, and coastal roadways should prepare for slick conditions during late-day travel.
Protect plants early, then prepare for a rapid warm-up and midweek rain. This is a classic early spring swing across coastal Virginia.
