Partly cloudy overnight. Lows in the mid to upper 60s. If you have an early start Saturday morning, you may run into some patchy to dense fog.

You can expect partly cloudy skies Saturday with highs in the lower 80s. We just have a slight 20 percent chance for an isolated shower. Not looking too bad for the NAS Oceana Air Show. Sunday is looking very similar, with highs in the lower 80s under a mix of sun and clouds. We have bumped up rain chances to a 25 percent chance. Most folks will stay dry. We will have persistent northeasterly winds over the next couple of days, which means some tidal flooding is possible Sunday and Monday. We also have a moderate risk of rip currents and will have that risk through Tuesday. Hurricane Jose will track northward off the southeast and Mid-Atlantic coast. This will give us an elevated risk of rip currents through Tuesday.

Clouds and sunshine to start the work week. We will continue with gusty winds, rough surf and possible tidal flooding.

Tonight: Partly cloudy. Some patchy to dense fog possible. Lows in the upper 60s. Winds: Variable 5-10 mph.

Saturday: Partly cloudy, with an isolated shower possible (20%). Highs in the low 80s. Winds: NE 5-10 mph.

Saturday night: Partly cloudy with lows in the upper 60s. Winds: E 5-10 mph.
