FINALLY, WARMER WEATHER MOVES INTO HAMPTON ROADS... DRY WEATHER WILL END BY MID-WEEK AND WE MAY BE IN FOR SOME UNSETTLED WEATHER AFTER THAT

Even a slight change in the wind direction can make a huge difference in the weather. On Saturday, a northerly wind made for a rather chilly day in Hampton Roads. The winds today (Sunday) should be more northwesterly, which will cause temperatuers to be nearly 10 degrees warmer than yesterday. Temperatures are expected to stay at or slightly above normal for a few days and that hasn't happened in quite a while. Dry weather is expected through Wednesday, but an approaching frontal system may mean some wet weather as we get to the Thursday to Saturday timeframe. It's a little early for any specific details on this system, but rain seems a good bet during this period... I posted a new "weather fact" describing what we here in Hampton Roads should expect during the month of March. I'm going to do this monthly for the next 12 months describing what the month's weather is normally like here in HamptonRoads. Please check it out. It's entitled "March Weather in Hampton Roads".
