Virginia Beach, VA – Golden sunlight glints off calm Atlantic waves this morning as Virginia begins another stretch of mild, breezy fall weather. The pattern looks pleasant through Thursday, but residents should keep an eye on Friday evening — when a weak system slides up from the south, bringing the first rain chance of the week to coastal areas.
According to the National Weather Service in Wakefield, Tuesday stays bright and comfortable with highs near 62°F and a west breeze gusting up to 24 mph. Wednesday warms further, topping near 67°F under increasing clouds as winds turn southwesterly. The breeze will stay noticeable across open beaches and along Route 13, but skies remain mostly clear into early Thursday.
By Friday, conditions shift. Clouds thicken and temperatures rise toward the upper 60s before a 30% chance of rain develops after sunset. Light showers could drift inland across Hampton Roads and Chesapeake, briefly dampening evening travel or outdoor Veterans Day preparations. No severe weather is expected, but gusty winds near 25 mph may accompany the passing front.
The weekend returns to sunny and mild conditions — highs near 68°F Saturday and cooler, drier air by Sunday. It’s an ideal window for leaf cleanup, outdoor plans, or early holiday travel before a potential pattern change mid-month brings cooler air and higher rain chances across eastern Virginia.
For now, enjoy the sunshine while it lasts — and prepare for a brief but noticeable November shift by week’s end.
