Lancerlot Sports Complex in Vinton hosted the 5th annual Oakey’s Dog Days of Summer.

Make sure you're hydrating and finding ways to stay cool the next several days

ROANOKE, Va. – Who needs a pup cup when you can get nuggets for free? The Bonsack Chick-fil-A will give your dog a treat when you bring them through the drive-thru during its Dog Days of Summer event on Wednesday, August 26. If you bring your furry friend along, you get one free 6-count nugget and a Chick-fil-A bandana. The event will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will continue while supplies last.

As we transition into the Dog Days of Summer,' the forecast calls for some of the hottest weather weve seen all of 2020. Highs Friday will be in the low to mid 90s for a good chunk of the region, with the exception being parts of the New River Valley and Highlands. This is thanks to a slight breeze out of the north from time to time both Friday and on Independence Day. These start north of 460, with one or two drifting southward during the evening hours. Well keep the daily shot for storms in the forecast Sunday through next week, with afternoon highs around 85-90 and nighttime lows around 65-70.
