Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Saturday, October 4th, 2025.We start our day with mostly cloudy skies over our city this morning. Temperatures are holding steady near 70 degrees, and we expect the clouds to linger throughout most of the day, with just a slim chance of sprinkles this evening.

Looking ahead, this pattern continues into Sunday with slightly cooler temps in the evening, so keep a light sweater handy.The latest from City Hall includes word that local officials are reviewing guidance from recent court decisions on employment law, specifically the fallout from the Supreme Court’s Muldrow decision.

We will keep you posted as these guidelines are finalized and what it could mean for city workers in our schools, libraries, and offices.New business activity is noticeable across town this weekend.
