Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast
When you think about early November in Hampton Roads, you may picture cool weather, hot coffee, sweaters and fall colors.
This year, we'll have the fall colors, but you probably won't need the sweaters or even the hot coffee.
We've got a big warmup headed our way this weekend.
Our warmup really gets going on Friday. After some patchy morning fog, we'll enjoy plenty of sunshine and mild weather. Many of us will climb into the mid 70s. And some inland spots could even flirt with the 80-degree mark.
And many more of us could climb into the 80s on Saturday. The first half of the weekend promises to be our warmest day over at least the next week. On average, we expect highs in the mid-to-upper 70s with partly cloudy and breezy conditions on Saturday.
Sunday won't be quite as warm, mainly because more clouds will be rolling in through the day. Even so, we'll top out in the mid 70s, which is about 10 degrees warmer than normal.
The mild and dry weather sticks around for Monday. And Election Day is looking mainly dry with a slight chance for an evening shower on Tuesday.
But a developing storm system brings us a better chance for wet and windy weather late Wednesday and into Thursday of next week. Stay tuned.
