Virginia Beach Local Pulse: Foggy Start, Storms Tonight, and Community Spirit

Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Sunday, March 8. We kick off with the weather shaping our day. Dense fog lingers this morning around Oceana Naval Air Station, cutting visibility to half a mile with temps near 43 degrees and east winds at 9 miles per hour. It clears to partly sunny highs in the upper 70s by afternoon, but showers likely tonight into tomorrow with 70 percent odds and possible thunderstorms, so plan indoor backups for evening walks along the boardwalk. Expect mid-60s tomorrow with more clouds.

From City Hall, we see steady progress on daily life fixes like road repairs on Laskin Road, keeping commutes smoother amid the wet forecast. No big council votes today, but watch for budget talks impacting beach maintenance.

In sports, Regent University Royals baseball wrapped their weekend series 3-1 yesterday in 70-degree comfort at their Virginia Beach field, splitting the doubleheader and boosting their early season momentum. Local high schools report solid wins too, like Kellam Highs girls soccer edging out a rival 2-1.

Jobs are buzzing with Virginia Beach City Public Schools hosting career fairs this week, including tomorrows at Advanced Technology Center and Thursdays at CNU Education Fair, plus a big hiring expo March 28 at Landstown High on Concert Drive, drawing hundreds for teaching and support roles.

Real estate holds firm with about 250 homes listed citywide, median prices around 450,000 dollars, up slightly from last month per local MLS trends, favoring buyers in Kempsville amid steady demand.

New business perks include a fresh coffee spot opening near Lynnhaven Mall, while a beloved ice cream shop on Pacific Avenue tweaks hours for spring crowds. Crime stays low past 24 hours, just a minor theft arrest near Rudee Inlet, no public safety alerts.

Looking ahead, join community engagement Thursday at nearby JANAF Shopping Center for benefits help and resources. Feel-good note: Neighbors rallied to restore a playground at Little Neck Park, turning a worn spot into kid heaven through volunteer sweat.
