Yesterday we did hit 83 degrees at Norfolk International.  It was a nice day out for most of the area.  The showers came in during the evening between 7:30 and 10pm.  Here’s the estimated rainfall from Super Doppler 10:

We had a pretty good strip of rain start up over Newport News and North Suffolk.  It made it to Norfolk where the airport picked up 0.20″ of rain.  Then it dried out over Virginia Beach.  Look at Wanchese/Manteo.  A viewer emailed in that they got almost 2″ of rain down there yesterday around 5:00pm.  The storms didn’t materialize thankfully, but some areas got a quick downpour.  Today we started with temperatures in the upper 50s.  Highs though will only top out in the low/mid 60s.  The clouds should thin out this afternoon, but the winds will be northerly at 10-15mph with gusts to 20mph near the shore.  Small craft advisories are up for the boaters on the ocean and the bay. 

  We’ll warm up by mid week with highs in the 70s.  We’ll probably see some 80s on Thursday with a cool down for Halloween.
