About this listen

 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.
