Virginia – Morning clouds drift over coastal neighborhoods as a light breeze moves in off the Atlantic, carrying a mild January feel that doesn’t last long. Jackets feel optional now, but umbrellas and warmer layers will soon matter again as conditions turn unsettled into the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service office serving Wakefield, skies clear through the day with temperatures rising into the low 60s near Virginia Beach and Oceana. Winds stay light, making travel smooth along I-264 and I-64. The calm stretch continues into Friday, when sunshine and southerly flow push highs into the mid-60s, well above seasonal averages.
By late Friday, clouds increase as moisture builds from the west. Light rain becomes possible after dark, first inland, then spreading toward the coast. Roads may turn slick in spots, especially on bridges and ramps, even with limited rainfall totals.
Rain chances grow Saturday, especially after midday. Showers become more scattered but steadier at times, with highs reaching the mid to upper 60s. Expect reduced visibility during heavier showers and slower travel along Shore Drive and Hampton Boulevard. Conditions stay damp into Saturday night as rain chances peak.
Sunday brings a noticeable shift. Cooler air filters in, showers linger, and highs fall back near the upper 50s. Winds increase near the coast, adding a brisk edge by evening. By Sunday night, skies begin to clear and temperatures drop toward the low 30s, raising early-week chill concerns for commuters.
Sunshine returns early next week, but mornings feel colder. Winter is easing back in after this brief warm stretch. How different did today feel compared to last week where you live?
