We are in for a hot one today across Hampton Roads. A light sea breeze will keep the coast slightly cooler so if you want to cool off the beach won't be a bad idea.

High pressure remains overhead for the rest of today which means beautiful weather is in store for Hampton Roads! Are you outside enjoying this nice weather?

While the Atlantic Basin remains quiet in terms of tropical activity the Eastern Pacific has its first named storm of the season. Tropical Storm Amanda is no threat to land and will be on a weakening trend this weekend.

The rip current risk remains elevated tomorrow due to onshore winds. Be careful if you are headed to the coastline and if you plan on swimming make sure you listen to what lifeguards are telling you. The rip current risk for the Outer Banks will be higher tomorrow due to larger surf.

[Brian Michigan @brianmichiganwx]

It is really dry out there across Hampton Roads as dew points are sitting in the 30s and 40s! We will see a slight increase tomorrow ahead of a cold front but the larger increase in humidity will come this weekend.

[Brian Michigan @brianmichiganwx]

Temperatures will climb this weekend and into early next week as a ridge builds in across the Eastern US. Highs right now look to top out in the 80s along with an increasing in dew points. The 6-10 day outlook by the climate prediction center has Hampton Roads in a high probability of seeing above normal temps through the end of next week.

[Brian Michigan @brianmichiganwx]

Keeping an eye on the chance for heavy rainfall Wednesday night into early Thursday. This will be as a fast moving cold front moves through Hampton Roads. Areas that see heavy downpours may see a quarter to a half inch of rain. Stay tuned as timing of this line is likely to change.

Some patchy morning fog will be around early tomorrow morning for inland areas. Once the sun comes up this fog will quickly burn off allowing for a beautiful sunny Tuesday with highs around 70 degrees!
