Latest report from WAVY meteorologist Jeremy Wheeler:

It’s about 8:30am and I’m at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront around 16th street. Don’t come down for a visit though. Rain is very heavy now. Winds are gusting possibly up to 50mph as measured by one of our weathernet sites. Our van is lightly rocking so it is definetly gusty. Waves are running about 5-7ft now (estimated). There was a surfer earlier, but he even headed home now. Remember the rough surf is very dangerous, so please don’t try to surf until condtions calm down a little.

If I saw the radar right, then it looks like this storm may be a little ahead of schedule. Jon Cash is updating on WAVY-TV and information is crawling on WVBT.
