Tracking sunshine today, but a few showers are on the way….We’re tracking a few showers in your forecast, but no day looks like a washout.

As we move through our Monday afternoon, expect plenty of sunshine across Hampton Roads and Northeastern North Carolina. High temperatures will be in the mid 50s. Clouds will increase and thicken later this evening and tonight ahead of a cold front that will bring some of us scattered showers late tonight. Low temperatures will be in the mid 40s.

A few early morning showers are possible on Tuesday. Otherwise, as we go through the day, we’ll see partly sunny skies through the morning and afternoon. Highs will be in the mid and upper 60s. Then, later Tuesday evening and night, a few more showers will trickle in. Some of that rain may stick around into early Wednesday morning. Once we move into our Wednesday afternoon, we’ll see clearing skies. It’s going to be chilly, with highs in the upper 40s and lower 50s, with gusty northerly winds.

We’ll see mostly sunny skies on Thursday. High temperatures will be in the mid 40s. Highs will climb back into the 60s by Friday into the weekend.
