FORECAST: Sunny but cooler than average for the first day of Spring

Gusty winds are likely at times through Wednesday.

NORFOLK, Va. — Monday's temperatures remind us of what it's like to live in Hampton Roads in March. You get a little taste of Spring but then get humbled by cooler weather. And the cooler weather will stay through the first of Spring.

A disturbance will push through Monday night, bringing a reinforcing shot of colder air on Tuesday. Expect a few isolated showers from this disturbance on Monday night, with cloud skies taking over again. 

High temperatures on Tuesday will be back in the middle 50s, about 5-10° below average. Additionally, winds will increase out of the west and become gusty, with gusts up to 30 mph possible.
