Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:00:37 -0500

High pressure will build in for a fantastic weekend. Temperatures will be cold tonight under clear skies with light winds. Freeze warnings are posted for inland areas as temperatures will potentially dip to or below 32. Near the coast the lows will more likely be in the mid to upper 30s.

Showers Out, Sunshine In

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:17:10 -0500

The showers we had overnight cleared the coast early this morning and now the skies have cleared as well. It will be partly to mostly sunny today with light northwest winds. Highs should generally reach the lower 60s. Tonight the winds will increase from the northwest from 10 to 20 mph. Winds gusts could reach 25 to 30 mph. These winds will continue into tomorrow and the high temperatures will be held down in the mid 50s. Gale warnings will be in effect starting tonight for the bay and ocean waters around Hampton Roads.

Sunshine Early, Increasing Clouds Late

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 08:27:05 -0500

Temperatures will be a bit cooler today as winds blow from the northeast to east. Highs should stay close to 60. Later this evening, as winds shift to the southeast, moisture will increase. Scattered showers will be possible overnight. They will exit early tomorrow morning. Skies tomorrow will become partly sunny.

If only we could vote each day for our weather! I think the vast majority heading to the polls would opt for sunshine and warmer conditions today. That is what we will get. Highs today will get back to normal, generally in the mid 60s. Skies will be mostly sunny. The winds will be from the north at 5 to 10 mph and increasing tonight. A front will quietly slip through tonight and tomorrow will be cooler with highs in the mid to upper 50s.

Spotty Drizzle Possible but Sunshine Coming!

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 06:33:52 -0500

The area of low pressure that helped trigger showers yesterday is moving away from the coast this morning. Patchy drizzle will still be possible today with a few light rain showers mainly over eastern areas. Temperatures will stay in the upper 50s. North and northeast winds will blow at 10 to 20 mph. Tides are running 1 to 2 feet above normal and a coastal flood advisory is in effect until noon today. Pleasant changes are coming.

Halloween... A Trick or Treat?

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 08:24:45 -0500

Conditions really aren't all that scary today. Skies will be variably to mostly cloudy and that should continue into the night. With the clouds blocking the moon, there should be very limited werewolf activity tonight. Highs today will stay in the mid to upper 60s. Northeast to east winds are keeping the tides about one and a half feet above normal. Consequently, very minor blooding... a mean very minor flooding occurred at high tide. With the next high tide this evening, the winds will shift to the east-southeast and the water levels should get a little closer to normal.

Mostly Cloudy, Cooler

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 07:50:22 -0500

It will be variably to mostly cloudy today as north and northeast winds usher in cool marine layer of air. We should remain dry for most of the region. There will be a chance for spotty drizzle late tonight and early tomorrow morning. Temperatures tomorrow will warm a bit as winds will shift to the east and southeast.

More Temperature Swings Coming

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 09:05:26 -0500

Relatively warm conditions will build across the region today. Highs should climb into the upper 70s for most areas. South winds will shift westward later today and eventually to the north tomorrow and that will send temperatures downward with highs tomorrow only in the lower to mid 60s. That won't last long. Another surge of warm air will move in Friday into Saturday and so it goes this time of year. We had rain showers and a few isolated storms early this morning. Afternoon conditions should be brighter as the rain moves quickly off to the northeast.

Clouds (and a Few Showers) Hanging Around

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 08:28:58 -0500

Low pressure off the Carolina coast provided plenty of low level moisture for Hampton Roads last night and early this morning. Showers and a few isolated storms rolled through early and the skies will be mostly cloudy for most of the day. Temperatures are mild and should stay in the mid 60s. Lows tonight will fall into the upper 50s and showers will likely return to the region.

Work Week: Showers Then Sun

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 08:26:52 -0500

A coastal low off the southeast U.S. coast will bring chances for showers later today over North Carolina and could produce a few showers over Hampton Roads by late afternoon or evening. The better chances for isolated to scattered showers will come later tonight through Tuesday morning. Highs for both days will be in the mid 60s.
