Virginia’s coastline is glowing under bright sunshine, but steady winds are already sweeping across Virginia Beach, pushing a warm-up that feels more like early summer than early spring. Flags snap along the Oceanfront, and drivers on I-264 are feeling crosswinds as the late morning commute continues.
According to the National Weather Service in Wakefield, southwest winds increase to 13 to 18 mph today, helping temperatures climb into the mid to upper 70s. Skies stay clear, and dry air keeps visibility high across the region.
In Virginia Beach and across Hampton Roads, the breeze becomes the main story through the afternoon. Beachgoers and boaters should expect choppy conditions along the coastline, especially near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. Secure loose outdoor items and use caution if traveling in high-profile vehicles.
The warm pattern continues into Wednesday with highs near 79°F under full sun. Conditions remain quiet through Friday, with highs staying in the low to mid-70s and comfortable overnight lows in the upper 50s to low 60s.
By the weekend, changes begin to develop. A chance of showers arrives Sunday, with increasing cloud cover and slightly cooler air moving in. Early next week may bring more scattered rain as a broader system approaches from the west.
For now, the stretch of dry, warm weather offers a preview of April’s milder pattern, with above-normal temperatures expected to continue into next week.
