ROANOKE, Va. – The air pattern above us isn’t too volatile, which means that can we keep the heat around for the next two-to-three days. Thankfully, humidity levels won’t be overbearing Monday. That may change a little bit come Tuesday.
If you have the day off and the kids at home, Monday looks like a great pool day. You can’t rule out a spotty storm or two after about 2 p.m., but that’s nothing to completely cancel your plans over right now.
