Meteorologist April Loveland's First Warning Forecast
Temperatures will dip into the 50s once again overnight under mostly clear skies.
We'll start to feel the temperatures and humidity go up on Tuesday. Highs will warm to the low 80s. Clouds will be on the increase as the day progresses.
Another rise in temperatures Wednesday. Some of the area could potentially see their first 90° of the season. Norfolk usually sees their first 90 degree day by May 16th, so we're running a little behind schedule.
The hot and humid weather will carry into Thursday with highs near 90 and the chance for scattered showers and storms. Another chance for wet weather on Friday and Saturday with highs in the mid and upper 80s.
Milder temperatures move in for Sunday and Monday. Expect highs in the mid 70s both days. We do have a slight chance of showers on Sunday, but looks like Monday will feature dry conditions and wall to wall sunshine.
