Norfolk is waking to clear skies and a cool start Sunday, with temperatures in the mid-50s before a mostly sunny afternoon tops out near 66 degrees. Northeast winds will run 8 to 13 mph, giving the waterfront a breezier feel even as the day stays rain-free.
Coastal Water Levels Bear Watching
The National Weather Service Wakefield office says nuisance flooding is possible during Sunday’s morning to early afternoon high-tide cycle in vulnerable coastal spots, with coastal flood statements issued for Virginia Beach and other nearby shoreline areas. Norfolk has no land-based watches or warnings listed, but people heading near low-lying waterfront areas should keep an eye on water levels, according to the National Weather Service.
Clear, Cool Nights Give Way To Sunshine
Sunday night turns mostly clear and colder, with a low near 48 degrees, before sunny Monday reaches 68. Tuesday should stay sunny near 67, and Wednesday remains mostly sunny around 67, with little to no rain expected through the middle of the week.
Late-Week Warm-Up Looks Promising
Temperatures climb into the upper 60s Thursday and around 72 Friday under mostly cloudy to sunny skies. Saturday looks mostly sunny with a high near 71, keeping the second half of the week unusually friendly for outdoor plans by late-October standards.
Boaters Face A Different Forecast
Most onshore plans should be fine, but a Small Craft Advisory remains in effect through 6 a.m. Monday for coastal waters south of Cape Charles. Seas there could stay 5 to 7 feet, while waves on the Bay are expected around 1 to 2 feet.
