Virginia Beach Weather Alert: Breezy Winds and Showers Expected Through Midweek
VIRGINIA BEACH, V.A. — Coastal Virginia is bracing for several days of breezy conditions and on-and-off showers that will linger through the middle of next week, according to the National Weather Service in Wakefield.
Storm Chances Begin Sunday
Scattered thunderstorms may develop late Saturday night into early Sunday, with a 40% chance of showers Sunday afternoon. Temperatures will reach the mid-70s, with evening rain possible before conditions turn windier on Monday.
Strong Winds Early Week
Forecasters say the breeziest conditions are expected Monday into Tuesday, when northeast winds of 18 to 20 mph could produce gusts up to 28 mph across Virginia Beach and the Hampton Roads region.
The winds may create rough surf, affect travel on bridges and tunnels, and make it more difficult to secure outdoor items.
Rain Likely Tuesday Into Wednesday
Periodic rain will persist through the early week, with the highest storm chances arriving Tuesday night into Wednesday. Drivers should prepare for wet morning and evening commutes, as showers and possible thunderstorms spread across both coastal and inland areas such as Norfolk and Chesapeake.
Improvement by Thursday
Conditions are expected to gradually improve on Thursday, though additional advisories may be issued if storms become more widespread or winds strengthen.
