    Virginia Weather 3/10 Morning - Clear Skies
    Mar 10 2026
    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.

    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.

    Good morning. Virginia. I'm Aaron Jolly. If you're driving this morning. Dense fog has settled across Virginia overnight, cutting visibility to a quarter mile or less. A Dense Fog Advisory runs until 10 A.M., so slow down and flip on those low beams. This fog burns off by mid-morning. And then. Well, then it gets interesting. Once that fog clears, we're talking gorgeous. Central Virginia hits 78 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Western Virginia reaches 76 with wall-to-wall sunshine. Hampton Roads tops out at 70, though you'll see more clouds along the coast. Light west winds keep things comfortable statewide. Tonight stays mild — lows around 50 to 52 degrees under clear skies. Now here's where it gets wild. Tuesday brings record-challenging heat for early March. Central Virginia climbs to 83 degrees. Western Virginia hits 81. Hampton Roads reaches 76. We're running 33 degrees above normal, folks — we could tie or break records set back in 2009 and 2000. While you can. Wednesday stays warm — low 80s inland — but clouds build as a cold front approaches. A few showers and possibly a thunderstorm pop up late Wednesday, especially west of I-Ninety-Five. Thursday brings the crash. That front slams through with widespread rain and gusty southwest winds up to 30 miles an hour. Behind it? A dramatic temperature drop. Highs only reach the low 60s, but temps fall through the afternoon. By Thursday evening, we're in the 40s with northwest winds gusting to 35 miles an hour. Western mountains could even see a few snow flurries as cold air rushes in. Friday rebounds with sunshine and highs near 60 degrees. The weekend looks pleasant — mid-60s Saturday, low 70s Sunday. Enjoy the warmth while it lasts. See you this afternoon.

    Mar 8 2026
    Good afternoon. Virginia. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside right now and you'll feel that mild air. 67 degrees after a balmy overnight low of 65. But don't get too comfortable. A cold front is sweeping through today. And it's bringing scattered showers and thunderstorms along for the ride. The timing splits the state. Central Virginia sees the bulk of activity between 11 A.M. and 5 P.M., peaking around 4 P.M. Hampton Roads gets the heaviest action from noon straight through midnight, with storms likely by mid-afternoon. Western Virginia catches rain mainly from late morning into early afternoon. Temperatures tell an interesting story today. Richmond climbs to 77 degrees before the front arrives. Norfolk hits 74, then drops into the upper 60s by late afternoon as storms roll through. The mountains top out at 72 around 3 P.M. Winds gust to 20 miles an hour out of the west, shifting northwest as the front passes. Tonight brings clearing skies and a sharp cooldown. Lows drop to the upper 40s statewide. That's a 33 degrees drop from where we started this morning. Monday flips the script completely. Sunshine returns with a vengeance. Central and Western Virginia soar to 76 degrees. Hampton Roads stays cooler at 62, with patchy fog early. Perfect weather for a lunchtime walk if you ask me. Tuesday and Wednesday deliver record-challenging warmth — we're talking low to mid 80s inland. Richmond could flirt with 81 on Tuesday, 84 on Wednesday. But don't get too comfortable. A stronger cold front barrels through late Wednesday into Thursday, bringing widespread rain and gusty winds. Thursday cools to 70. Cooler, drier air settles in Friday with highs in the low 60s, then we moderate back to the mid to upper 60s next weekend. Enjoy the mild start while it lasts. See you this evening.
