ROANOKE, Va. – You can definitely feel the humidity in the air these last two days. That isn’t going anywhere Tuesday, with temperatures rising into the 80s for most of throughout the day.

As a storm system to the west fires off some storms, those storms will move into that warmth and humidity after about 2 p.m. Tuesday.
Anything that does move in could become briefly strong-to-severe with localized wind damage and/or hail becoming possible.
That threat looks to be over after 6 or 7 p.m., as the atmosphere puts most of its energy into storms well south of us.
Come Wednesday, our actual cold front will be moving through, which could spark a few more hit-or-miss storms during the afternoon east of the Parkway. Most of us will just notice the wind picking up from the west.
This will help drop humidity levels later in the day and throughout the rest of the week.
Temperatures will come down as well, with lows in the 40s and highs in the 60s from Thursday through Saturday.
Beyond that, a warm front will extend east. That will give us the chance for a few mountain showers Saturday. As that storm system progresses eastward, we may see a few storms develop in the warmth and added humidity of the day on Mother’s Day.
At the moment, however, it doesn’t appear as though we’ll have to completely ditch all holiday plans. Just keep checking back for updates on our app as we go throughout the week.
