Virginia is waking up to damp pavement and low gray skies, and drivers along I-264 and Shore Drive can still spot patches of fog clinging to the marshes. Visibility dipped near five miles earlier, and that haze lingers into late morning. Roads remain cool to the touch, and with temperatures starting in the mid-30s, any leftover moisture could turn slick in shaded spots.
According to the National Weather Service in Wakefield, fog thins through midmorning with highs reaching 55 degrees. Southwest winds increase to 10 mph, adding a brisk edge. Clouds hold firm tonight with lows near 44.
By Wednesday, temperatures climb to 61 degrees, nearly 15 degrees above normal for mid-February. A slight rain chance develops late, then steadier showers move in Thursday afternoon. Rain chances jump to 60% Thursday night and 70% Friday. New rainfall totals may reach a quarter inch in some neighborhoods. Expect wet pavement and slower travel on I-64 and I-264 through Friday evening.
Keep umbrellas and rain jackets ready. Allow extra braking distance during heavier bursts. If skies briefly clear this weekend and temperatures fall back near 39 degrees Saturday night, watch for flash freezing on bridges and overpasses where daytime melt refreezes quickly.
The broader 6–10 day outlook signals above-normal temperatures returning late next week, with early hints of spring warmth building by Monday into Saturday. February still has a chill, but milder air is lining up behind this midweek system.
