Virginia Beach Local Pulse: Storm Recovery, Spring Weather, and Community Growth
Published 1 month ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Sunday, March 22. We kick off with breaking news from yesterday: severe storms rolled through Hampton Roads, bringing a tornado threat, but our area dodged the worst with just heavy rain and gusty winds up to 20 miles per hour along the outer coast. Today stays partly cloudy with highs near 75 degrees and lows around 62, light winds from the southeast at 10 to 15 miles per hour, perfect for outdoor plans, though keep an eye on scattered showers later this week according to US Harbors forecasts. Those winds might kick up waves to 4 feet, so boaters near the Fishing Pier, take caution.
Shifting to sports, Virginia Wesleyan hosted the Betty S. Rogers Invitational at their track complex yesterday, where Alvernia Womens Track and Field kicked off their outdoor season strong, giving our local athletes a thrilling showcase right here in VB. Meanwhile, UVA takes on Tennessee in college basketball action today, and our listeners are buzzing about it from spots like the Boardwalk bars.
City Hall updates mean smoother commutes: crews finished repaving Laskin Road near Hilltop, cutting traffic delays that plagued us last week. On the job front, we see about 37,000 openings across Virginia Beach on Indeed, from delivery drivers at Lynnhaven Mall to laborers at the shipyards, signaling steady growth for folks seeking work.
Real estate heats up too, with median home prices rounding to $400,000, drawing military families to neighborhoods like Kempsville thanks to Norfolk base expansions. New business buzz: a fresh AC Hotel-style spot whispers of opening near Town Center, promising rooftop vibes.
Looking ahead, mark your calendars for the Beachside Social Member Mixer on March 26 at ABC Virginia, a networking gem for our professionals. Local schools shine with Kellam Highs recent math team win at the regional comp.
Crime report from the past 24 hours stays calm: VBPD reports no major incidents, just a minor theft arrest near Red Wing Park, keeping our streets safe.
And a feel-good note: community volunteers cleaned Croatan Beach at dawn yesterday, hauling away debris to keep our shores pristine for families.
