ROANOKE, Va. – It is a very chilly start to our Thursday, thanks to high pressure overhead. That will lead to clear skies and a calm afternoon. Temperatures will have the opportunity to rise more than they did Wednesday afternoon.
Most of the area will peak between 65 and 70°, which is still almost 10° below average for this time of year.

We’ll be chilly once again by Friday morning, with temperatures starting generally between 40 and 45°. Outside of a stray shower Friday, we’ll stay dry through at least Saturday.
We have some ground to make up as we’re roughly 2-3″ below normal for the entire spring.
As a warm front extends eastward later in the weekend, we expect some showers to develop along it Sunday afternoon.
Therefore, we expect Sunday afternoon to be cooler than Saturday afternoon with more clouds in place.
With this warm front still close by Monday and Tuesday, periods of showers and storms may still continue.
High pressure will strengthen over the eastern U.S., leading to warmer and drier weather for the second half of next week.
