    Mar 5 2026
    Good afternoon. Virginia. I'm Aaron Jolly. Spring just showed up two weeks early. Step outside right now and you're greeted by 61 degrees. That's not a typo. In the next 24 hours. Central Virginia hits 79 by mid-afternoon. The mountains steal the show at 80 — your warmest spot today. Down in Hampton Roads, you're looking at 72 with a steady southwest breeze around 12 miles an hour. Wall-to-wall sunshine across the state. Rain? Forget it. Less than a 6 percent chance anywhere. Tonight stays mild under thickening clouds. Lows drop to the mid-50s statewide — 57 inland, 55 along the coast. No rain expected, just that soft cloud cover rolling in after sunset. Friday keeps the warmth going, but here's where it gets interesting. Central Virginia and the mountains both reach the upper 70s to low 80s again. Hampton Roads? You start in the mid-60s, then watch the thermometer tumble to 51 by afternoon as a backdoor front sneaks in from the northeast. Mountains and central areas see a slight chance of showers after 1 P.M., but nothing major. Saturday stays warm — upper 60s to near 80 — but shower chances tick up by afternoon. Sunday brings the best rain odds at 50 to 60 percent, with possible thunderstorms, especially south. Monday tapers off, then we dry out Tuesday and Wednesday with highs climbing back into the low 80s. Another round of showers rolls in Wednesday night. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight each day now. And the spring equinox is just two weeks out. Tonight's full moon rises under mostly cloudy skies. Enjoy this preview of spring while it lasts. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

    Good morning. Virginia. I'm Aaron Jolly. Forty-nine degrees right now. Eighty degrees by this afternoon. That's not a typo. In the next 24 hours. Before we get to the heat, quick heads up for anyone driving north of Richmond this morning. Dense fog has visibility down to a quarter mile in spots. Low beams only. It clears by 9 A.M. Once that fog burns off, the warmup kicks in fast. Western Virginia leads the charge, topping out at 80 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Central Virginia sits right behind at 79. Down in Hampton Roads, the coast keeps things a touch cooler — 72 with a southwest breeze at 6 to 12 miles an hour. Here's the kicker. Normal highs for early March? Upper 50s. We're running 43 degrees above that. The spring equinox is still two weeks out, but today feels like mid-May showed up early. Tonight stays mild. Lows only drop to the mid-50s under partly cloudy skies. Step outside after dark and you'll catch the full moon lighting everything up. Friday keeps the warmth rolling. Western Virginia could hit 82. A slight chance of showers pops up in the afternoon, but most of us stay dry. For the weekend. Rain chances increase Saturday night into Sunday, with a few thunderstorms possible Sunday afternoon. Temperatures stay well above normal through early next week. Today's the day to crack a window or take that long lunch outside. We'll pay for it with some rain this weekend, but for now?

    Good morning. Virginia. I'm Aaron Jolly. That rain yesterday left the ground soaked. And with overnight lows sitting at a damp 42 degrees, we've got some dense fog in the river valleys.

Down in Hampton Roads, that patchy fog lingers until around 11 A.M. You'll top out near 66 degrees with a southwest breeze at 6 to 9 miles an hour.
