Virginia Weather Alert: Rain and Thunderstorms Could Crash Your Virginia Beach Weekend!
If you’re planning to be in Virginia Beach this weekend, here’s a quick heads-up: there’s a Virginia Weather Alert out because Friday’s rain and weekend thunderstorms might mess with your plans. Whether you’re heading to work, hitting the beach, or going to outdoor events, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the forecast and be ready for some wet weather.
Friday morning starts off with gray skies and scattered showers, so expect a bit of a soggy start to your day. Temperatures will be around a comfy 77°F, but with steady rain and some light breeze, it might feel cooler than that. This isn’t just a quick sprinkle — it’s the kind of rain that could slow down your commute or make you rethink outdoor plans.
Looking ahead, the Virginia Weather Alert sticks around Saturday, with thunderstorms expected to roll through Virginia Beach in the afternoon. There’s about a 50/50 chance for heavy rain, gusty winds, and lightning after 2 p.m., so it’s smart to be prepared for some interruptions. Sunday might still have a few scattered storms, but by Monday, things should clear up with warmer, sunnier skies.
What You Should Do: Stay Safe and Stay Flexible
Since storms can pop up unexpectedly and sometimes get pretty intense, it’s best to keep your plans flexible. If you’re driving, take it easy and give yourself extra time on the road — wet streets can be slippery. And if you’ve got outdoor events planned, it’s always a good idea to have a backup plan, just in case.
The good news? This unsettled weather won’t stick around forever. By Monday, you can expect clearer skies and pleasant temperatures near 83°F — perfect for getting outside and enjoying the fresh air again.
