Virginia – The sound of waves blends with a steady northwest breeze this morning along the coast, as sunshine glints across calm surf near Virginia Beach. The pleasant stretch of fall weather continues through Saturday — but changes are coming fast. Meteorologists expect clouds and rain to return Sunday, marking the first hint of a colder, wetter early December pattern.
Today remains mild and breezy, with highs near 45°F and winds gusting close to 25 mph inland. Friday and Saturday stay mostly sunny, perfect for outdoor plans or coastal travel, though highs dip slightly to the mid-40s.
By Sunday afternoon, skies darken and rain begins spreading inland. The National Weather Service gives a 60% chance of rain, with the heaviest showers near evening as a low-pressure system sweeps in from the west. Expect wet pavement, slower traffic on I-64 and Route 13, and reduced visibility through Sunday night.
The post-rain pattern turns noticeably cooler — Monday’s highs fall to the mid-50s, then slip toward the 40s by midweek. NOAA’s latest 6–10 day outlook highlights below-normal temperatures and above-normal precipitation for much of Virginia as early December arrives, hinting that winter’s first chill may not be far off.
