Advisory in effect for western and eastern Virginia. morning Tue Mar 10th, 2026 Virginia forecast.
Good morning. Virginia. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside right now and you'll feel 53 degrees. In early March. That's not a typo. Today we're chasing history, central and Western Virginia soar into the low 80s this afternoon. Richmond's gunning for 82 degrees — that would tie the 1990 record. Norfolk aims for 79, just shy of the 1981 mark. These are late May temperatures showing up three weeks before spring officially starts. Moving on. Mostly sunny skies dominate, though Western Virginia might see a stray shower around 2 P.M. As daytime heating kicks in. Nothing serious. Winds stay light out of the southwest. As the sun sets. Tonight barely cools off, lows only drop to 60 degrees statewide under clear skies. You might sleep with the windows cracked. Wednesday cranks the heat even higher. Mid 80s across most of the state — potentially the warmest March day on record for some spots. But late afternoon brings the catch. A cold front approaches from the west, triggering a slight chance of thunderstorms north of I-64. The Storm Prediction Center has tagged us with a Marginal Risk for severe weather. Temperature-wise. Thursday morning between 7 A.M. and 1 P.M., that front crashes through. Rain and thunderstorms dump a quarter to half inch, heaviest in Western Virginia. But here's the drama — temperatures nosedive from 70 degrees at sunrise to the mid 40s by late afternoon. Northwest winds gust to 35 miles an hour, while winter makes a cameo appearance. Friday turns sunny but cooler, mid 50s. The weekend rebounds nicely into the upper 60s before another system rolls in Monday. Enjoy the record heat while it lasts. Your jacket's coming back Thursday. Looking ahead. See you this afternoon.

midday Mon Mar 9th, 2026 Virginia weather update.
Good afternoon. Virginia. I'm Aaron Jolly. If you stepped outside early this morning, you walked into a wall of fog. Dense fog blanketed the entire state overnight, dropping visibility to a quarter mile or less in spots. That fog advisory stays in effect until 10 A.M., so take it slow if you're on the roads before mid-morning. Once it burns off, you're in for a gorgeous day. Central Virginia sees sunshine and a high near 78 degrees — that's pleasantly warm for early March. Tonight drops to 52 under clear skies. Down in Hampton Roads, partly sunny with a high near 70 degrees, cooling to 52 overnight under mostly cloudy skies. Out in Western Virginia, full sunshine pushes you to 76 degrees, falling to 50 tonight under mostly clear conditions. Tomorrow cranks up the warmth even more. Central Virginia hits 83 degrees — that's flirting with record territory. Hampton Roads reaches 76. And Western Virginia tops out at 81. We're talking about temperatures you'd expect in late April, not early March. But here's the twist. Wednesday brings a strong cold front that changes everything. Showers and thunderstorms develop, especially west of I-Ninety-Five in the afternoon. By Thursday morning, that front barrels through with widespread rain, gusty winds. And a dramatic temperature crash. Central Virginia and Hampton Roads see highs only in the low 60s Thursday — but those highs happen early before temperatures fall throughout the afternoon. Western Virginia drops to 52 degrees with rain showers likely. Winds could gust to 30 miles an hour statewide. Friday rebounds with sunshine and highs around 60 degrees. The weekend looks pleasant — mid-60s Saturday, low 70s Sunday. Enjoy this spring preview while it lasts. See you this evening.
