Virginia Beach, VA – Storms rolling into coastal Virginia Friday could bring flash flooding and thunder, disrupting weekend plans across the Tidewater region.
According to the National Weather Service in Wakefield, widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Friday, with a 60% chance of rain continuing through the night. Heavy rainfall may cause localized flooding in low-lying areas, especially along I-264 near Norfolk and parts of Virginia Beach. Motorists should avoid underpasses and poor drainage zones.
On Saturday and Sunday, the unsettled pattern continues. Scattered storms are likely both afternoons, potentially affecting Father’s Day outings and beach traffic. Highs will remain in the mid to upper 80s, but humidity and storm risk will make it feel hotter and less predictable.
Outdoor event organizers should have contingency plans through the weekend. Use NOAA Weather Radio or local alerts for the latest updates, and secure tents or equipment ahead of gusty winds that could accompany Friday evening’s storms.
Next week begins with more rain chances into Monday evening, before conditions begin drying out midweek.
⚠️Warnings remain in effect through Monday night for potential flooding.
