Winds of Change...

7:42 AM Tue, Jul 01, 2008 |

A cold front slipped through overnight and early this Tuesday morning. It will keep temps a bit cooler today and has allowed a wind shift to the west/northwest. The result will be a short break from the smoke for much of Hampton Roads.

Southern parts of Chesapeake and Virginia Beach may still have to deal with the smell of smoke from the Dismal Swamp fire, but most of the smoke will be farther south into Camden and Currituck Counties.

Light and variable winds late afternoon shifting to the east by evening may push the smoke back towards Suffolk and Gates county in North Carolina for a stretch early tonight. The winds will likely come back from the southwest overnight which means more smoke for Chesapeake and Virginia Beach.

There is a very low risk of a shower or storm late this afternoon or early evening. After that, we should remain dry into Saturday. We need rain!
