Virginia Beach, VA – Scattered thunderstorms could slam into Virginia Beach by 2 p.m. Sunday, bringing high winds, heavy rain, and the risk of localized flooding along U.S. Route 58.

According to the National Weather Service in Wakefield, heat index values could soar past 105°F before a wave of storms sweeps through eastern Virginia late Sunday afternoon into early evening. These storms may produce gusty winds, brief downpours, and isolated flash flooding, especially in low-lying or poorly drained areas.

Residents in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake should stay weather-aware and avoid non-essential travel during peak storm hours. If you’re heading outdoors, hydrate, seek shade, and monitor conditions closely—lightning and flooding could strike with little warning.
