A few showers will pass through the region early Saturday morning but most locations remain dry.

The clouds will remain locked in place until about lunchtime.

A few hit or miss showers and thunderstorms will bubble up Saturday afternoon. 

An isolated strong storm containing gusty winds and heavy downpours cannot be ruled out east of the Roanoke valley.

Thundershowers end Saturday evening and it's dry Saturday night

Lows tumble into the 60s and lower 70s.
