Virginia Beach, VA – A quiet, crisp start across the Virginia coast hides an approaching weather shift. Clouds will thicken Tuesday as a cold front slides east, bringing widespread showers and a few rumbles of thunder before cooler, drier air moves in just in time for Thanksgiving.
According to the National Weather Service in Wakefield, Tuesday’s system will push across the Hampton Roads region by afternoon, dropping steady rain and isolated thunderstorms through the evening. Roads like I-64, Route 58, and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel could see slower traffic and slick conditions, especially during the evening commute.
By Wednesday, the storm exits to the Atlantic, leaving breezy air and partly sunny skies. Thanksgiving Day looks crisp and clear, with highs near 51°F — ideal for travel, family gatherings, or early holiday shopping plans.
The end of the week turns brisk but dry. Friday and Saturday bring sunshine with highs in the upper 40s before another pattern shift develops early next week, hinting at a cooler trend to start December.
Five-Day Outlook (Nov. 24–28):
- Tuesday: Showers, isolated thunderstorms; high 65°F.
