According to the National Weather Service in Wakefield, skies stay clear through tonight and into Saturday, with highs near 77°F and light onshore flow . The quiet pattern holds through early weekend hours, giving beachgoers and travelers a window of stable weather.
That window closes by Sunday afternoon. Showers develop after 2 p.m., with rain chances climbing from 40% to 80% into the evening. Winds increase sharply, shifting southwest to northwest with gusts up to 32 mph along the coast. Expect choppy conditions near the shoreline and reduced visibility on roads like I-264 and Shore Drive.
Across Virginia Beach and into Norfolk and Chesapeake, brief downpours could create slick roads and slower travel by late day Sunday. Secure loose outdoor items ahead of the wind shift, especially near exposed coastal areas.
Cooler, drier air follows quickly. Monday brings sunshine but a noticeable drop, with highs near 62°F and a crisp feel in the हवा. Clear skies continue into Tuesday with temperatures in the low 60s before a gradual warmup midweek.
Plan outdoor time early this weekend, and stay weather-aware heading into Sunday afternoon as conditions change quickly.
