Meteorologist April Loveland's First Warning Forecast

A frigid Saturday on tap. Temperatures will only warm to the 30s across the area. Many will be about 20 degrees below normal for this time of year.

If you're heading out to the Polar Plunge, it's going to be a cold one! Don't let that discourage you though, it's all for a good cause. Temperatures will top out in the low 30s at the Oceanfront.

Virginia Beach Polar Plunge
A frigid day to plunge for a good cause!

The water will actually be warmer than the air temperature! Maybe it will even feel a bit warm!

Polar Plunge Water Temp
Temperatures at the Oceanfront are in the 40s.

The dry weather will come to an end on Sunday. A disturbance will bring the chance for showers by the afternoon and evening hours. Just grab and umbrella if you have late lunch or dinnertime plans. After Sunday, we'll stay dry through midweek. Rain chances will then go up again on Thursday and Friday.

Rain chances over the next 5 days
Rain chances will go up on Sunday. Drier air will move in through midweek.

Spring may be 44 days away, but we don't have to wait much longer to start feeling more spring-like. After a frigid Saturday, temperatures will rebound to the mid 50s on Sunday and then the low and mid 50s on Monday. After that, we'll soar to the 60s through the end of the week. Not bad for the first full week of February.

Temperature trend over the next 5 days
After a frigid Saturday, temperatures will warm into the 60s for most of the work week.
