Patchy fog will impact Virginia commuters this morning, especially near the coast. Conditions are expected to improve by 9 a.m., as skies gradually clear to partly sunny. Temperatures will climb into the upper 70s by mid-afternoon, providing unseasonably warm conditions for early October.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service in Wakefield, coastal regions around the Chesapeake Bay are under flood advisories today. Areas like Norfolk and Accomac are particularly vulnerable to flooding, and residents should stay updated through local advisories. This risk, compounded by rising tides, could affect low-lying roads near U.S. Route 13.
Looking ahead, cooler fall-like conditions will sweep across the region by mid-next week as a cold front moves in. However, for this weekend, residents can expect clear skies and temperatures in the mid-70s. Sunny weather is forecast for Saturday and Sunday, making it ideal for outdoor activities across the region, from Richmond to Emporia.
Monday will see a high of 74 degrees, but temperatures will dip sharply by Tuesday, reaching as low as 47 overnight. The arrival of these cooler conditions is a reminder to start preparing for the shift in seasons, especially with potential for frost in rural areas next week.
