Question
I have an outside wedding planned in 23061 (Gloucester, VA, on the Chesapeake Bay) for 10/25/08 4pm.  Could you tell me about the weather on or around that date for the past few years?  Any predictions on this year?  Thanks!

Answer
Erin,

Normal high temperatures at that time of year are in the upper 60s to near 70. Normal low temperatures are in the upper 40s to near 50. Barring any tropical storms or hurricanes, late October is generally a rather dry time of the year with rain about once every three or four days.
Record high temperatures at that time of year are in the low to mid 80s, while record lows are in the upper 20s to near 30.
I hope this helped.

Sincerely,

Dave Dombek
