ROANOKE, Va. – As was the case on Saturday morning, we are waking up to chilly temperatures around the area. Morning lows next few days (WSLS)Overall, today should be a pretty nice day despite the chilly start. We’ll be watching the upper level pattern closely the next few days to determine how high temperatures rise. Upper air pattern for Sunday (WSLS)The jet stream gradually retreats northward into the work week and an upper level ridge builds in across the eastern U.S. That means a warm-up for us. Upper level pattern for Wednesday (WSLS)We’ll start to gradually cool down a bit after Wednesday.

Morning lows on 10/17 and 10/18/2020In addition, it might not be a bad idea to fill up your tires. For every 10° drop in temperatures, tire pressure drops by 1 psi. Fall festivities forecast for Saturday, 10/17/2020While this will be some of the coolest daytime air we’ve had in months, it will still be sunny and nice! Upper air pattern next weekThe jet stream retreats north, meaning the autumn air does so as well.

Thursday's high temperature forecast - 10/15/2020This all changes once a cold front moves through the area Friday. Our high temperature will likely come early in the morning.
