VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Sunshine dominates the late-week weather story as Virginia Beach and coastal Hampton Roads enjoy one of the most comfortable stretches of fall yet. Temperatures will hover near the mid-60s to upper 60s under crisp, dry air, ideal for outdoor events, pumpkin patches, and coastal walks.
According to the National Weather Service in Wakefield, gusty north winds will continue today with speeds up to 25 mph along I-64 and across open bridges. Those breezes will ease Thursday into Friday, leaving clear skies and seasonably cool afternoons. Morning lows in the lower 50s will feel brisk, reminding residents that colder fall mornings are fast approaching.
Drivers should stay alert for crosswinds on area bridges and overpasses, especially the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. Boaters are advised to monitor marine advisories, as small craft conditions remain possible through Thursday evening. With the weekend bringing abundant sunshine, Saturday looks excellent for visiting parks or catching fall colors inland near Suffolk and Williamsburg.
By late Sunday, another system may brush coastal Virginia with light showers, but no major hazards are expected. Early next week looks bright again with mild, dry air continuing into Monday and Tuesday—perfect for outdoor Halloween decorating or late-season yard work.
