Virginia – First light spreads across the coast with a slate-gray sky and a restless wind pushing over wet sand and quiet neighborhoods. Streetlights along Shore Drive glint off cars as the breeze gathers momentum, hinting at a bigger shift building through the day. The air feels brisk and unsettled, giving Virginia Beach a classic mid-November pulse as holiday travel ramps up.
According to the National Weather Service Wakefield office, winds increase this morning across coastal Virginia. West and southwest gusts may reach 20 to 30 mph by mid-afternoon, especially near open stretches of I-264 and U.S. 58. Residents should secure loose outdoor items and prepare for occasional crosswind pushes on bridges and elevated ramps. For now, skies stay mostly dry, helping early travelers move efficiently.
Sunday intensifies the pattern. A northwest wind develops, increasing to 17 to 20 mph with gusts near 30 mph. The breeze sharpens along oceanfront corridors and open inland fields, giving the day a crisp, accelerating feel. Cooler air trails behind this shift, providing a subtle early-season reminder even though no snow threats exist this far south.
Monday calms considerably. Sunshine returns with highs in the mid-50s, creating a comfortable window for early Thanksgiving travel, outdoor decorating, or seasonal yardwork. To be fair, this may be one of the steadier days before a new system approaches.
