Frost Advisory!
After feeling like Winter this weekend in Hampton Roads, we are topping off the cold airmass with a cherry on top. A frost advisory has been issued for inland areas. This includes Gates county, N.C.; Suffolk, Isle of Wight county, James City county, and all points westward. A strong area of high pressure will dominate the weather tonight through Thursday. Tonight the high will create clear skies and light winds. Dewpoints are in the 20s in some inland areas. This creates a big potential drop in temperatures. Lows will be in the low 40s near the shore and in most of the metro. Inland locations will be in the mid/upper 30s. However, a few rural areas will be in the low/mid 30s. Watch the usual cold spots. Blackwater, south Chesapeake, Franklin, and Gloucester Courthouse. Bring in the sensitive plants and pets. You will not have to drip the faucets tonight. A hard freeze is not expected.
Interestingly enough we will see temperatures climb over the next few days. Highs on Thursday will be near 80 degrees. You may say that this is crazy weather. I say welcome to Hampton Roads.
