Norfolk is starting Saturday with partly cloudy skies and temperatures near 43 degrees, but sunshine will take over as the day warms to about 54. Northwest winds of 12 to 16 mph may gust as high as 25 mph, making the afternoon feel colder than the thermometer suggests.
According to the National Weather Service Wakefield, rain is not expected Saturday or Saturday night. Skies will turn mostly clear tonight, with temperatures falling to around 38 degrees and northwest winds near 9 mph.
Afternoon Winds Keep Saturday Brisk
Sunday brings another sunny day with a high near 56, followed by a mostly clear night and a low around 39. Monday should stay sunny and reach about 55, while inland areas farther from the coast could see colder overnight temperatures near freezing.
Warmer Air Arrives Later Next Week
The week gradually moderates after the chilly start. Tuesday and Wednesday should be sunny with highs near 56 and 59, respectively, followed by 62 degrees Thursday and a mostly sunny 64 on Friday.
Boaters Face Rougher Conditions Through Sunday
Small Craft Advisories remain in effect across local waters into Sunday as northwest winds strengthen, with nearshore seas building to 4 to 6 feet and higher seas farther offshore. Conditions should improve Sunday and turn much calmer early next week as high pressure settles over the region.
