DECEMBER

A few of us will see snowflakes in the air Wednesday, while most see near-record warmth Saturday

A brief burst of snow and sleet is possible for parts of the area Wednesday morning

A pair of storm systems move through Monday and Wednesday

If you enjoyed yesterday’s unseasonal warmth, you’re going to love today’s weather too! We begin the day very mild, in the 40s and 50s. Although that may sound a bit chilly, our average low this time of the year is in the middle 30s.

The next few afternoons will have more of a hint of October - not December.

High temperatures reach the 60s (and perhaps 70s) later this week

ROANOKE, Va. – Watch for wet spots on bridges and overpasses, as they may have turned slick since Monday’s light snow event. The wind started picking up Monday evening and hasn’t let up since, making it feel a little uncomfortable at times Tuesday morning. High temperature forecast for Tuesday, 12/8/2020If this wintry chill isn’t your cup of tea, then we’ve got good news for you later this week. As the jet stream retreats to the north, warmer air will move in from Thursday through Saturday. Upper air pattern by Thursday, 12/10/2020The jet stream does buckle, though, helping a cold front move our way over the weekend.
