Norfolk, Virginia – Rain and drizzle will taper off by midday before patchy fog and a midweek warmup affect coastal Virginia.
According to the US National Weather Service in Wakefield, lingering rain and drizzle early Monday will gradually end by late morning. Skies will remain mostly cloudy and cool through the afternoon, with gradual clearing expected inland first.
High temperatures Monday are forecast to reach the upper 40s to low 50s across Hampton Roads and northeast North Carolina, with slightly cooler readings along the Eastern Shore. As skies partially clear late tonight into early Tuesday, patchy fog may develop, particularly along the coast and near inland waterways.
Drivers along Interstate 64, Interstate 95, US-13, and US-50 could encounter reduced visibility during early Tuesday morning commutes if fog becomes locally dense.
A warming trend is expected to develop through midweek, especially west of the Chesapeake Bay. Highs are projected to climb into the upper 50s and 60s by Wednesday across Richmond, Williamsburg, and portions of central Virginia.
Rain chances are forecast to return by late Friday as another system approaches the region. While widespread heavy rainfall is not currently expected, periods of wet roads may affect end-of-week travel.
The fluctuating conditions may impact students and commuters during early morning fog and late-week rain periods.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts at weather.gov/wakefield as the warming trend and late-week rain chances develop.
