Virginia — Wet pavement glistens under gray skies along the coast this morning as light rain drifts across Hampton Roads. Jackets feel necessary, and umbrellas earn their keep early as winter hangs on, for now.
Temperatures hover in the upper 30s around Virginia Beach, with a brisk northeast breeze adding a chill. According to the National Weather Service in Wakefield, scattered rain showers develop through the day, mainly after midday. Rain chances taper later, but damp roads linger into the evening commute.
Drivers along I-264, I-64, and Route 58 should expect reduced visibility at times. Slick spots may develop, especially on bridges and overpasses near the water. Plan extra travel time if heading out during peak hours.
Rain pulls away tonight, and clouds begin to thin. Lows dip into the low 30s, cold enough for patchy frost inland. Any leftover moisture may refreeze briefly before dawn, creating isolated slick areas.
Sunday brings a noticeable improvement. Sunshine returns, winds ease, and highs climb into the low 40s. That calmer stretch sets the stage for a warming trend into the first full workweek of 2026.
By Monday, highs reach the mid-40s with partly sunny skies. Tuesday pushes temperatures into the mid-50s, and Wednesday approaches the upper 50s. That shift signals a move away from winter chill toward a milder coastal pattern, with no snow threats currently indicated.
Meteorologists continue tracking systems well west of the region, but for now, the story is rain giving way to brighter, warmer days. Winter hazards ease as the week progresses, though wet roads remain the main concern today.
