Virginia Beach, VA – Get ready for a surge of summer weather across Virginia as scattered thunderstorms and soaring temperatures target Virginia Beach starting Wednesday afternoon. Commuters and families should prepare for pop-up downpours, brief gusty winds, and muggy 90°F heat as storms develop after 2 p.m. This summer weather alert means it’s essential to plan indoor activities or check travel routes before heading out, especially as the rain could slow traffic on major roadways like I-264 and US-58.
According to the National Weather Service, Wednesday’s storms will be most active late in the day, bringing the chance for heavy, short-lived showers and the risk of localized street flooding. Southwest winds up to 10 mph could make outdoor conditions feel even hotter. By evening, storms taper off but clouds and humidity linger, keeping lows mild near 77°F.
Looking ahead, Thursday promises sun and a spike in temperatures, with highs near 95°F. Residents should use extra caution outdoors, hydrate frequently, and limit strenuous activities during peak heat.
