The rain will come to an end this evening, from west to east, as the cold front pushes through the region between 8 and 11 p.m. Temperatures will quickly drop into the 40s after the front moves through and winds switch to the northwest. Winds diminish overnight, though it will remain breezy along the coast. Overnight lows will be in the lower to middle 30s.

High pressure then builds in behind the front on Thursday and Friday, bringing much colder weather to Hampton Roads. Afternoon temperatures will only be in the middle 40s both days.
