VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Holiday travelers in Virginia Beach will face breezy conditions Monday as cool September air pushes into the region. Drivers on I-264 and I-64 should expect crosswinds, especially in open stretches, with gusts near 24 mph creating possible travel slowdowns.
According to the National Weather Service, Labor Day will stay mostly sunny with highs near 75 degrees but with steady northeast winds at 16 mph. Gusts will peak during the afternoon, raising risks for high-profile vehicles and beachgoers managing umbrellas or tents.
