Sunny, warm and breezy, then much colder….Get ready for more big changes in your First Warning Storm Team Forecast over the next several days. On Monday, we’re expecting plenty of sunshine across the area. Breezy southwest winds will help us warm into the low and mid 70s by afternoon. Now, because of those winds, there is an increased fire danger across the area Monday. Please be careful with open flames through the day. Don’t get used to the warm weather either. A cold front moves in late Monday into Tuesday from the north, causing our temperatures to drop. In fact, by Tuesday afternoon, temperatures will be in the upper 40s! Before the colder weather arrives, though, the front will push a few scattered showers in the area late Monday into Tuesday. Then, as strong northerly winds slide over the Chesapeake Bay behind the front Tuesday morning, we could see a few Bay Effect snow flurries/showers over Southside Hampton Roads. At this time, little to no accumulation is expected. On Wednesday morning, many areas will start the day near freezing, but by afternoon, highs will climb into the upper 50s. We’re expecting rain Thursday with highs in the upper 60s. Have a great week!
