Norfolk is forecast to be sunny Tuesday, Oct. 27, with a high near 69. Rain is not expected, and north winds are forecast at 3 to 9 mph.

Sunny Tuesday Leads Into Mild Week

It is a jacket-in-the-morning, lighter-layers-by-afternoon kind of day. Tuesday night will be partly cloudy with a low near 55, followed by mostly sunny skies and a high near 69 on Wednesday.

Temperatures edge higher later in the week, with Thursday reaching about 71 degrees and Friday topping out near 74 under mostly sunny skies. Winds should stay generally light, making for comfortable conditions across the city.

Halloween Forecast Looks Mostly Dry

Saturday, October 31, is forecast to be partly sunny with a high near 70, though clouds will increase into the evening. Rain chances are minimal Saturday, while Sunday brings mostly cloudy skies and a slight chance of showers after 1 p.m., with a high near 72.

How This Week Compares With Climate Normals

The National Weather Service Wakefield climate report lists a 1991–2020 normal high of 69 degrees for Norfolk on Oct. 27, matching Tuesday’s forecast. The report lists a precipitation normal of 0.10 inches for Oct. 26, but its separate “normals for today” section does not list one for Oct. 27, so it does not establish how this week’s rain chances compare with a late-October average. The 2025 Virginia State Climate Summary says the state’s annual average temperature has risen more than 1.5°F since the beginning of the 20th century. That is statewide, long-term context—not a specific finding about autumn temperatures or this week’s weather.

No watches, warnings or advisories are currently posted for Virginia, although coastal waters may see somewhat rougher conditions as northeast winds strengthen later Tuesday and Wednesday.
