Virginia – A warm breeze is already moving across the coastline, and you can feel spring settling in as sunlight reflects off calmer waters early today.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures climb to near 79 degrees with mostly sunny skies and southwest winds between 13 and 15 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph . That steady wind will be the main factor through the afternoon, especially near the coast and over bridges.
Across coastal Virginia and into northeastern North Carolina, this pattern signals a brief stretch of quiet spring weather before the next system approaches. While today stays dry and bright, a slight chance of showers develops late tonight into early tomorrow.
In Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake, expect smooth travel conditions along I-264, Shore Drive, and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel through the daytime. Still, drivers should watch for crosswinds, especially on elevated roadways and open stretches near the water.
Conditions remain mild tonight with temperatures near 61 degrees and only a slight shower chance developing after midnight. Thursday and Friday continue the stretch of sunshine, with highs in the mid to upper 70s and lighter winds.
By the weekend, the pattern begins to shift. Saturday stays mostly sunny, but clouds increase late. By Sunday, rain chances jump to 60 percent, with showers likely developing after midday and continuing into the evening—something to watch for early April travel and outdoor plans.
Looking ahead, early next week cools slightly before another warming trend builds, reinforcing that spring is settling in across the region.
