Norfolk is waking up to a mild but mostly cloudy Monday, with temperatures in the upper 30s to 40s across the local area early and an afternoon high expected around 69. Rain is unlikely, while light easterly winds keep the day comfortable but a little gray.
The updated forecast from the National Weather Service Wakefield keeps the region dry through the middle of the week. Monday’s cloudier outlook is a modest shift from the earlier Hoodline forecast, while temperatures continue trending upward.
Warmest Stretch Arrives Tuesday And Wednesday
Tuesday should bring mostly sunny skies and highs in the lower to mid-70s, followed by another mostly sunny day Wednesday with temperatures reaching about 77. Overnight lows will also become milder, with Wednesday night’s low around 60.
Showers Return Thursday And Friday
The weather turns more unsettled Thursday, when a chance of rain showers develops after 7 a.m. and highs are in the low to mid-70s. Thursday night could bring showers and a few thunderstorms, with rain chances increasing further Friday as showers and thunderstorms become likely.
Friday’s high is expected to be in the low to mid-70s, so the late-week pattern looks warm, damp and occasionally stormy rather than wintry. The forecast calls for a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms Friday.
Weekend Looks Cooler And Mostly Dry
Saturday may start with a slight chance of showers before 1 p.m., with mainly dry weather likely. A shortwave is possible late Sunday into Monday, and no watches, warnings or advisories are currently posted for Norfolk.
