Norfolk gets one more quiet, mostly cloudy day Friday before the weather takes a decidedly wetter turn. Temperatures should reach the mid-70s, with rain chances returning Saturday night and lingering into Sunday, alongside gusty winds along the coast.
Clouds Hold Through Friday And Saturday
Friday will remain dry with a high near 76 degrees and northeast winds around 7 mph. Saturday turns slightly cooler, with a high near 73 and east winds of 6 to 14 mph that could gust to 23 mph, especially near open water.
According to the National Weather Service Wakefield, the best window for outdoor plans is likely Friday and most of Saturday. Skies will stay mostly cloudy, but the forecast carries little chance of rain during the daytime.
Rain Arrives Saturday Night
Rain chances return Saturday night and continue into early Monday.
Sunday looks like the wettest part of the weekend, with showers likely before 11 a.m., additional showers possible and an 80% chance of precipitation. The high may reach 74 degrees, with another one-half to three-quarters of an inch of rain possible, while parts of southeast Virginia could see higher totals.
Monday Brings A Break
Rain showers could linger Sunday night. Monday is expected to be mostly cloudy, with a high near 73, followed by a high near 66 Tuesday.
No watches or warnings are listed for Norfolk in the supplied forecast. Boaters should still keep an eye on marine updates, as stronger east to southeast winds, rougher seas and possible small craft conditions are expected from Saturday night into early next week.
