Sunny today, but we’re tracking rain and cooler temps on the way….Soak up the sunshine as much as you can. We’re tracking rain, along with some cooler temperatures in your First Warning Storm Team Forecast.

As we move through our Wednesday afternoon, expect plenty of sunshine across Hampton Roads and Northeastern North Carolina. Our temperatures will be delightful, too. Highs will be in the mid 60s.  Tonight, clouds will increase late, ahead of our next weather maker, a cold front. Still, tonight should be dry. Low temperatures will be near 50.

On Thursday, grab your rain gear. The cold front will approach the area, giving way to scattered showers during the morning and possibly into the early afternoon. Some heavier pockets of rain are possible here and there. Otherwise, as we go through the mid afternoon into the evening, our skies will gradually clear. High temperatures will be in the lower 60s. It’s going to be windy, with winds from the west-southwest between 10 and 20 mph, with gusts to 30 mph.

With the front to our south on Friday, we’re expect mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies, along with some cooler air. Highs will be in the upper 40s and lower 50s. This weekend, we’ll see a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the mid and upper 40s.

This Afternoon: Mostly Sunny and Warmer. Highs in the mid 60s. Winds: W/SW 5-15 mph.

Tonight: Increasing Clouds. Lows near 50. Winds: SW 5-15 mph.

Tomorrow: Scattered Showers Likely (60%). Then PM Clearing. Windy. Highs in the low 60s. Winds: SW/W 10-20 mph, gusts to 30 mph.
