ROANOKE, Va. – March has been another unseasonably warm month and today brought record breaking warmth to some of us.
Our average high temperature for the end of March is in the low to mid 60s. Roanoke hit a high temperature of 86 degrees which breaks the nearly century old record of 85 degrees which was set in 1921. These are temperatures that we typically feel towards the end of June!
