Gorgeous Halloween night, rain chances return Thursday

Turning cooler for the weekend

ROANOKE, Va – The warmth will continue to surge today as highs climb into the mid-70s under a mainly sunny sky. For trick-or-treating, it really doesn’t get better than this. Most of us will start out in the 60s with a mainly clear sky. By the night’s end, we’ll only drop into the upper-50s.

A cold front swings by Thursday bringing increasing rain chances later in the day and into Friday. Behind that front, the 50s and 60s make a comeback Friday and through the weekend.

The heaviest and steadiest rain arrives later in the day Friday. A few lingering showers will be possible Saturday morning, but a drying trend will takeover for the rest of the weekend.

The weekend at this point looks gorgeous to take in the fall color popping around the region.
