Norfolk has one more mild day ahead Thursday before a sharp weekend cool-down. Thursday is forecast to be partly cloudy, and the high should reach about 71 degrees, according to the National Weather Service, making it a brief encore for lighter jackets before colder air moves in.
Mostly Dry Thursday, With A Few Evening Showers
Most of Thursday should stay mostly sunny, though isolated to scattered showers are possible Thursday morning and afternoon, with a shower or two possibly lingering into the evening. The chance of rain is about 5%.
Temperatures fall to around 47 degrees overnight, while west winds could gust as high as 20 mph.
Sunny Weekend Comes With A Noticeable Chill
Friday will be partly cloudy and much cooler, with a high near 56 and gusty northwest winds. Saturday and Sunday stay sunny, but highs only reach the low-to-mid 50s, with overnight lows around 38 to 40 degrees in Norfolk.
Boaters should also watch for increasingly rough conditions, as Small Craft Advisories begin Thursday night on portions of the Chesapeake Bay and continue into Friday. No land-based watches or warnings are posted, but the colder, breezier pattern is expected to linger into early next week.
