VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – The early morning air along the coast feels brisk but calm — a brief lull before the wind stirs again. Flags ripple across the shoreline and the scent of salt drifts inland as the region enters a stretch of breezy, late-fall weather leading into a sunny and mild weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Wakefield, gusty west-to-northwest winds will continue through today, peaking between 20 and 25 mph at times, especially near the coast and along open stretches of Route 13 and I-264. While skies remain mostly clear, residents should secure outdoor decorations, lightweight furniture, or trash bins ahead of the day’s stronger gusts.
Friday brings calmer air and abundant sunshine, with highs near 58°F — perfect for late-season yard cleanup or early holiday decorating. By Saturday and Sunday, temperatures rise further, reaching the upper 60s to near 70°F, with mostly sunny skies expected across Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and the greater Hampton Roads region.
Sunday looks like the standout day — mild, breezy, and ideal for outdoor plans or travel across southeast Virginia. Early next week, a weak system may brush the coast with light rain, but no major weather hazards are expected through Tuesday.
It’s a picture-perfect stretch for mid-November: crisp mornings, golden afternoons, and just enough coastal wind to remind residents that winter is near — but not here yet. With Thanksgiving travel just over a week away, southeast Virginia travelers can enjoy an early gift of calm, dry weather and easy roads.
