Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast
If you think Monday was chilly, just wait until Tuesday morning! Most of us will wake up in the 30s and some of us may even have to scrape a little frost off of our windshields!
We have a Frost Advisory in effect for parts of Hampton Roads and eastern North Carolina, including Chesapeake, Suffolk and points west.
But after a chilly morning, we expect a nice warm up in the afternoon. With plenty of sunshine we should climb into the upper 60s and lower 70s in the afternoon.
And Wednesday brings even warmer weather, with highs in the lower 70s. The trade off? Showers.
A cold front will cross the region Wednesday afternoon. Ahead of the front, we're expecting a small line of showers. Any rain should be gone by early afternoon.
And then our winds will shift from the south to the north and temperatures will drop.
The end of the workweek will be sharply cooler. Many of us may not climb out of the 50s on Thursday. And we'll be just a few degrees warmer on Friday.
But the weekend is looking pretty spectacular. We're expecting highs in the low-to-mid 70s under partly cloudy skies. And it looks like we'll warm close to 80 degrees by Monday. Stay tuned!
