Virginia starts March with a thin layer of fog hugging the coastline, softening streetlights and dampening early traffic along I-264. Visibility drops in patches before midmorning, especially near the Oceanfront and inland toward Norfolk. If you’re driving now, slow down and use low beams.
According to the National Weather Service in Wakefield, patchy fog lingers until 10 a.m. before skies turn mostly sunny. Highs reach 55 degrees today with southwest winds shifting north this afternoon and gusting up to 28 mph. It feels mild in the sun but brisk in the wind.
Clouds increase tonight with lows near 36. Monday turns sharply cooler, with highs around 40 and a slight chance of rain after 1 p.m. By late afternoon, a brief rain-snow mix could develop as temperatures hover near the upper 30s. Little or no accumulation is expected, but wet roads could turn slick after sunset if temperatures dip.
Monday night brings a 40% chance of rain or snow before 10 p.m., then mainly rain. Tuesday rebounds to 54 with scattered rain chances before early afternoon. Rainfall totals stay light, generally under a tenth of an inch.
By Wednesday, sunshine returns with highs near 62. Thursday pushes to 66, signaling a steady warm spell into late week. We gain more daylight this month, and clocks spring forward at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 8.
Long-range trends favor above-normal temperatures into the 6–10 day outlook. For now, watch for fog early and brief slick spots Monday evening. What are you seeing along the coast this morning?
