Norfolk started Friday, October 30, with patchy fog and temperatures in the mid-50s, but the haze should fade by midmorning. Sunshine will take over, sending temperatures toward 79 degrees before a cooler air mass arrives overnight.
Fog Fades Before A Warm Friday
The National Weather Service in Wakefield said locally dense fog could briefly reduce visibility through around 8 a.m., especially across parts of southeast Virginia. After that, skies should turn sunny with no rain, while northwest winds stay light, according to the National Weather Service.
Friday afternoon will feel more like an encore of summer than the eve of November, with temperatures reaching the upper 70s before sliding into the 50s after sunset. The warmer forecast is a notable update from Hoodline’s earlier Norfolk forecast, which had already pointed toward a cooler Halloween weekend.
Halloween Looks Cooler But Dry
Saturday, October 31, should bring mostly sunny skies and a high near 63 degrees, with northeast winds around 12 mph. Saturday night will turn mostly cloudy, with temperatures falling through the upper 40s to 50s during the evening and reaching the lower to middle 40s by Sunday morning, so evening plans may call for a jacket even if the afternoon feels comfortable.
Sunday, November 1, will be partly sunny with highs in the upper 60s, followed by a mostly cloudy Monday near 68 degrees. Tuesday should be milder at about 71 degrees, while rain chances may return Thursday, when highs are expected to stay near 73.
Winds Pick Up Near Local Waters
North to northeast winds will strengthen Friday night and Saturday, with Small Craft Advisories posted for much of the local marine area. The advisories begin Friday evening in several waters and continue into Saturday, when some coastal zones could see seas building to around 5 feet.
