Wakefield, Virginia – A quiet and seasonably cool pattern is settling in across eastern and central Virginia as lingering light showers move offshore and skies steadily clear overnight. The transition sets up a dry, sunny Sunday with improving conditions for travel and outdoor plans.
According to the National Weather Service in Wakefield, a few light showers lingering across southeastern Virginia are pushing offshore this evening, with clearing skies spreading from west to east overnight. Low temperatures drop into the lower to mid-20s inland, while coastal areas hold slightly milder readings in the upper 20s to low 30s as winds ease.
Sunday brings bright sunshine for much of the region as high pressure builds overhead. Afternoon temperatures recover into the upper 30s to mid-40s across central and eastern Virginia, including Richmond, Williamsburg, and Hampton Roads. Skies remain mostly sunny through the day, though some clouds may begin to increase again during the evening hours.
Dry weather is expected to continue not only Sunday but into the upcoming workweek, with no precipitation concerns through midweek. The return of sunshine and lighter winds will make Sunday feel more comfortable despite the cooler air.
Residents should be mindful of icy patches early Sunday morning in shaded or untreated areas following the cold night. Otherwise, the pattern favors calm, dry weather with gradually moderating temperatures as the new week begins. Additional updates will follow as the extended outlook becomes clearer.
